I’ve gotten so tired of tanks sitting on some ledge off in god knows where covering every route to the objective. As a soldier you can do nothing since most maps are wide open and they can see everything. Leaves you with complete reliance on another tank or plane to take care of it. Just completely ruins matches when people do this shit.

lol, good idea
Agree, I am tried againsting thoes t34s in the Moscow. Nothing can stop them now.
Smoke artillery is a HUGE overlooked counter for these tanks, alongside planes. ESPECIALLY in Normandy say a Tiger is camping the hill on D-Day. One P-38 and a pilot that can see the tank firing can go and toss multiple M8 Rockets at the Tiger and pop it. If no plane of sorts, hope you either have multiple smoke grenades or a radioman squad to call smoke artillery with.
Don’t rely on someone else being the solution to an issue, prepare for everything. (ex. 9 man infantry with MG gunner, engineer, AT gunner + Radioman squad with two radiomen for a safety net in case one dies and definitely an engineer + Tank / Plane, whichever you prefer. These alone covers greyzone tanks, generally just being aggressive (Those 9 men can put some work in with proper repositioning, marking, and can be amazing with weapons like an M2 Carbine or AVT-40), and a vehicle to either give tank or air support (Please don’t use the first plane in Tunisia unless you’re using it EXCLUSIVELY to take out enemy planes, since that’s all it can do)
How to call smoke artillery at spawn point or area out of combat boundary? You can only destroy them by air or using other tanks, and cas is quite inefficient in this case. Maybe they need to re-balanced the tank battle instead of completely remove it.
AT guns are actually very effective at killing camping tanks, if the engineer is clever he can build the gun and the tank won’t see him doing it, I’ve died quite a few times this way, it’s a multi arms game, personally I like to keep my sections as small as possible, because you’re just going to be giving the enemy a lot of free kills with most of your troops because the AI are idiots, but I have all of my specialty sections available, so when I die I can grab whatever I need, the simplest most efficient way to kill any tanks is imo with an airplane, it’s so easy to kill tanks with airplanes, especially if they’re marked, One problem though is that marking tanks that are far away from you can be difficult, there’s some sort of a bug in the game where it’s very hard to mark vehicles that are some distance off consistently.
But rule number one, don’t feed the campers, be the camper…
AT guns bounce now, they’re not as good as they used to be

I think they need to buff the hell out of the AT rifle. Right now it is the weakest and most useless piece of shit.
Grb? maybe you can frontal pene
grb is still very good
You don’t call smoke artillery OVER the tank, you use it to break line of sight
That’s basically how they were irl, you have to be accurate and they were only effective up to ~500m and would only get through light armor
