Default Re: Tank Riders

There is one problem with the tank riders: When firing arty barrage at a tank that has inf onboard the inf suffers no casualties unless the tank receives a direct hit and the inf is forced dismount... I tend to think that if all that shrapnel is flying around, it's not good to be 1 metre+ above the ground level bunched up.

Zip,
well I'm not a military pro but I, too, would expect arty to be more effective in stripping off the tank riders (without the need for the tank to take a arty hit, as you say). The question is if the game code "allows" for such an effect.

Mustang,
If you're defending against a "tank+riders" advance and don't have the AT capability to destroy the tanks at a distance, what would you prefer: to keep your MGs hidden and engage the tanks and the dismounted riders at a short range or to try to "force dismount" the riders at a greater range and then take on the tanks at a closer range (assuming they continue to advance)without their infantry support?
