Strategy for taking out big AT guns

[Captain_Insano]

Yes, the German 88 AT guns are deadly. I find MMG infantry squads the best for taking out AT guns because their range is still pretty good and you can get them close enough to open up before being spotted. 88's are particularly vulnerable to this because they are a larger size target.

In general there is a mind set I forced myself in to once I got more experienced playing this game. At first I was having unacceptably high tank losses because I liked using them. They are fast and cool! Now my mind set is to use infantry to minimize tank losses rather than using tanks to minimize "overall casualties". It's not pleasant to think about what this would mean in real life but consider in game terms that the points value for a single tank is approximately equivalent to an entire platoon of infantry. Also consider that an infantry section can be hit 6 times or so while a hit on a tank usually means the whole thing is toast.

I always liked the following quote which I understand was actually written Soviet military doctrine: "The best tank terrain is that without anti-tank weapons."
