urban fighting

Additionally to what has been mentioned above, use a support of SP-guns with large caliber. Accuracy is not an issue when you want so shoot just at the other side of the road.

For a particularly nasty (and maybe a bit gamey) variant of this theme, one could also try using German self-propelled rocket launchers with 32 cm flame rockets for direct fire. Those tend to cause rather insane amounts of suppression just hitting the same hex.

However, the amount of rockets per vehicle is rather limited, so they need to be used carefully, and those vehicles can be quite vulnerable to anti-tank fire.

Also, scouts with SMGs can be handy in an urban environment - presuming that the enemy is somewhat suppressed, you might be able to move these into a good firing position without enemy noticing and then unleash a few good burst, making it easier for your main force to immediately follow up and mob up the (now hopefully very seriously suppressed) survivors. Of course if the scouts end up receiving fire from any unsuppressed enemy, they might suffer quite badly.

Engineering tanks (like M4 dozers) can be useful for demolishing houses with a reduced risk of getting immobilised - thus providing other tanks with new avenues to advance through into a good firing position.

In cities, dense forest, jungle etc, it is well worth simply picking a narrow objective and going for that, rather than trying to hit everything.

That sort of terrain overwhelmingly favours the defense, so you are often better off "defending forward". Rush to take an area, then try to set up as defensive positions as possible.

Limited objectives is key with urban warfare,and decide your goals.

If you can succeed doing better,then go for it!

This will make urban conflicts less imitating.

In real life,would a commander insist on taking every flag at the sake of losing too many lives?

Same goes in this game
