Infantry Tactics
Anti- Armour- Tactics/ Ambushes
| All Anti armour ambushes and or weapons should be
positioned to engage tanks from the flank. Frontal shots at enemy armor
are less desirable because: |
| A tank's armor protection is greatest in the front. |
| A tank's firepower and crew are normally oriented to the
front. |
| Frontal engagement increases the chance of detection and
suppression. |
| A tank is a bigger target from the flank. |
| When using Anti tanks weapons always Try and use COVER
AND CONCEALMENT: |
| Cover is protection from the fire of enemy weapons and
from enemy observation It may be natural or man-made some examples
are |
| Also very important is Concealment:
Concealment is protection from observation .Concealment hides a
soldier, unit, or position from ground and aerial observers and gunners. |
| Cover and concealment are critical to the survival of
anti-armor weapons and the players involved in the ambush .Conspicuous
terrain features, such as lone buildings or trees, hilltops, and other
obvious positions, should be avoided. To further reduce vulnerability to
enemy fire, anti-armor weapons should be dispersed laterally and in
depth. So that no two weapons can be suppressed at the same time by a
single weapon. |
| Infantry is needed to provide local security. |
| Indirect fires (artillery and mortars) are used to slow
the enemy rate of advance, break up formations, cause vehicles to button
up, and suppress accompanying artillery. |
