RE: How to kill uber Axis tanks?
Gents:

I use the following tactics when engaging German AFVs (Panthers, Tigers) in covered terrain (woods, towns) on the Eastern Front.

Drop some smoke... move your infantry into assault positions... close the range (especially Soviet player "blessed" with lots of thin skinned T34s and even with the thicker skinned JSIIs). Try to keep your T34s and other Soviet AFVs behind an infantry screen... blast the "covered" German AFVs with multiple cannon fire... follow up with infantry assaults. Also, it is important with Soviet AFVs to "stick" and move. Take a shot and move back into cover if possible. Don't stay stationary and slug it out with the Germans. Then rinse and repeat.

I try to keep my Soviet armor assets in defense-friendly cover (woods, towns, BEHIND terrain), usually in company-size stacks, with only short "views" of the surrounding terrain. Don't try to engage German "uber" tanks in long range duels - even when you have several JSIIs. I learned that lesson in a recent battlefield encounter. :whis: It is not pretty! Eek
