Have you guys ever adapted some real life military strategie to BF2? Here are some thoughts:
As we all know, Germany had overwhelming success in the beginning of WW II. They overran Poland and France within a few weeks of battle, though at least the french military was well-equipped and numerous. So how did the germans manage to bring them down within such a short time?
The success came from a new military strategy called "Blitzkrieg" (engl. Lightning War), which was carried out with a huge amount of tanks (germ. "Panzer"), Mobile Infantry (germ. "mechanisierte Truppen") and Bombers.
The idea was to pull all the tanks and fast Mobile Infantry together, group them into tank-divisions (germ. "Panzerdivision") and provide any necessary support (such as repairs, pioneers and so on) for them, so they could be used at maximum efficiency. This tactic also requested a totally new infantry soldier, called "Panzergrenadier" (engl. Tank-rifleman), who was used to support the tanks in close quarter combat.
I think this tactic could be adapted in BF 2. Let's say you have a squad of 6 People and a Tank. You need the following:
1 Support Gunner
2 Mechs
2 Assault Troopers (germ. "Grenadier")
1 Medic
Either the medic or the support gunner are driving the tank (I prefer the support, though the medic is more vulnerable). The remaining soldiers walk beside the tank. The assault troopers are at the front (not in front though, just aside at the front) behind them you'll place the mechs and at the rear you place the support or medic.
Now what all that stuff for?
The tank is the strongest weapon in BF2. But when driving around all by himself, it often ends up being shot by AT or being C4ed by Specs or even being shot by some other tank. So the tank needs support in order to work efficient:
The support gunner refills the ammo of the tank and the surrounding soldiers as well. The assault troopers take out enemy ATs or SpecOps in advance, while the two Mechs repair the tank, if he's been shot and the medic ensures, that there are no casualities. You might think, this is a whole lot of effort just to protect a tank. But there's not only advantage for the tank. The soldiers benefit as well, as they can just avoid being hit by hiding behind the tank. Futher more, they don't have to take any AT-Soldier with them, because the tank's blowing everything up.
So, as you see, we have a self-maintaining, very strong attack-force, which can take on every role in battle with full efficiency.
Well, that's all, looking forward to hearing your comments/suggestions and hopefully you'll give it a try with your clan/squad. And pls excuse my english, I'm not a native speaker.
