Re: Some random thoughts
The solution is combined arms the vehicles protect the infantry, the infantry spot the ATGMs. The MMG & arty deal with the ATGMs. Vehicles of course generally only move at full speed in areas that have been checked & its safe to do so. You just adapt to the threat but of course things still go bang.

Modern warfare really requires scouting more than ever before. (To include helos etc). But caution rules the day if the OPFOR is about your level of technology, or better.
Or simply adopt the Soviet model and advance behind a barrage of off-map arty. Worked in the GPW, still works today if you keep the media away. (500 VP for a CNN camera crew?  )

I'm a big fan of the Soviet model. There's a reason my signiture is what it is  .
Wdll, in regards to the problem at hand, I can relate. I can't stand those little units that are impossible to see and yet can destroy your shiny stuff with a single shot. I agree with with Imp, that combined arms are the key to keeping ALL of your units alive and functioning by the end of the battle. A while ago, I posted on the SPWW2 forum about unsupported tanks, which produced a lot of good combined arms tips. Here's the tread - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=42493. The ultimate thing that I have to remember is patience and self control.

Have you seen their ratings lately? I'd give them 150 VP at most (except maybe 250 for Robin Meade).  |
