Greetings, tank ace. I know you've been waiting for a long time. You’ve been waiting for news, new challenges, new opportunities to rest back your shoulders and rush into battle. You didn’t sit with your arms crossed waiting for “Only tanks” mode, oh no! You were training in other games, learning new tactics sharpening your reflexes. You couldn’t afford low spirits, because you know your time to shine in the dance of fire, metal and pain will inevitably come. When the fight starts you will be where you are most needed, claiming your "god of war" title, injecting chaos and panic into the ranks of the enemy infantry, putting things in order and imposing respect just by your mear presence within the troops. You have no doubt on whose side victory is. I am your tank commander, your right fist on the battlefield. I am the one who challenges the foe that dares get in the way. We have many ways to make them suffer. You can focus on the light tank branch and break through the enemy flanks, destroying enemy infantry detachments, howitzers and cannons, and retreating enemies at the rear. Yes, with such tactics not everyone has a two way ticket... Yes, there is little we can do against the heavy and medium enemy tanks. We are vulnerable to anti-tank weapons, but we’ll field many more vehicles. We can make the emphasis on the heavy tanks and force the enemy to panic from the line of sight with our dreadnoughts. We’ll need to take care of them - it's a fact, but neither building nor fortifications will stand in our way. We will hit them hard, accurately, from afar. Heavy tanks are often armed with two or three machine guns hence are strong against infantry, but vulnerable without adequate cover because of their weak view ranges. We need the help of the infantry - one more fact, but we’ll not be alone on the battlefield! If your mind is cold and the conviction that victory is achieved with patience is your cup of tea, - it makes sense to choose the anti-tank SPG as your main instrument. We will not be so mobile and aggressive in battle, but after all someone has to show this high-handed enemy that our rears are strong. No pasarán! AT-SPG specialization makes us a renowned expert in the destruction of medium and heavy enemy tanks at long range. We will be good at the aft lines shaping the landscape and managing crater services where recently enemy forces were spotted. The Achilles heel of such tactic are the flank attacks. Often without the turret, and sometimes even without a roof over the fighting compartment your SPGs will be vulnerable against fast and maneuverable enemies. All of this is just the basic patterns, my friend. You will have the opportunity to create your own style and write a picture of destruction as you please. By combining and managing the infantry, artillery or both. But remember - there is no entirely winning tactic, such as no the hopelessly stupid enemy. Before leaving, it is strongly recommended that you read the note from the technician. "The component-wise damage system and the armor-weakening system, as well as before, work on the battlefield. As usual, the armor and gun components can be repaired under combat conditions. A serious threat for our vehicles are the enemy anti-tank weapons capable of destroying the crew partially or fully, depending on the power of the projectile.While at-gun shots can injure or kill someone from the crew, a large projectile will precisely kill one crew member and with a high probability wound a few of them as well. Each crew member has its own function, thus your tank will loose view range if the commander is killed, loss of the radio operator or gunner causes inability to fire with a frontal machine gun and so on. Each member of the crew is qualified to manage the basic parts of your vehicle, so when mission-critical for movement and firing soldiers are killed their place are taken by other members of the crew, thus preventing a total loss of the fighting capacity of the tank, but your vehicle is most effective with the full crew." Make your choice. I'm waiting in the hangar.
