In the game, I have used IFVs: Bradleys and LAV's with success due to the short range of Inf-ATMs, thereby allowing the 25mm cannon on the IFV to hit Inf-ATMs with impunity. |
Assuming you have an infantry screen, or for some reason can see the AT units, yes, but in most situations when you're going from A to B your first indication AT weapons are present is one of your APC/IFVs blowing up. |
Read my post completely. Specifically, laying down artillery fires in front of advancing mech formations.
You should not advance more than 3 - 7 hexes a turn after an artillery barrage. With each end of and begining of turn have the leading elements scan ahead of the formation.
Lay your fires one after another on each sucessive turn in front of your mech formation. See Pyros' tutorial.
Additionally, each turn run UAV spotting runs.
An Inf-ATM may get off a shot, but it will be errant due to suppressive effects of the "fire strikes." Once exposed, he will die or tun tail and run following tank gun, auto canon, and arillery reaction fires.
Keep your logistics train close to keep the MLRS and FA guns loaded.
Possible con is the potential for artillery overload.
