General Base Assault strategy, (also stock map strategy) Options

I found the following on the IWN forums this week and thought it was interesting.

NorseForce Base Assault strategy PDF

It dovetails nicely with our Barbarossa and Smolensk strategy threads. I don't agree with everything in the PDF.

A key thing that the PDF does talk about is where stock tanks are weak. Such as hitting the top turret hatch.

Thanks for the link! They obviously don't have much experience taking down bases with tanks as they missed all kinds of good long range firing angles on each of the maps, but they have put together a really nice document for those who have missed many of the secrets of the game.

We should pin a forum thread that simply reads: WHEN RIDING IN A TANK, DO NOT FIRE YOUR MG AT AN ENEMY TANK!! Just yesterday I rolled up to the long range shelling position on R3 near the Axis spawn by the factory in Ponyri. A good shot from their 88 could take me out. I'm basically all by myself in the corner of the map by the Police station, lobbing shots from my Panzer. I'll have to sit in my spot for a minute and a half. And then I hear footsteps. Some jerk jumps into my tank and starts firing his machine gun, spraying it towards the R3. He couldn't hit anything at that distance, but he manages to draw the fire of not just the 88, but two tanks as well. These are the types of players who should be removed from the game!
