A couple more... Here we have an OH crap moment...
A FULL company of m60 MBT's out to eat my lunch of 2 Soviet army type t55 platoons.... 3 tanks in this sort of platoon. My BMP's are dangerous to tanks....but in a long range fight are at massive disadvantage. Only their AT3's have range to engage effectively but they are not the greatest thing ever to start with. PLus real LOW rate of fire on their AT missiles.
I hate fighting on the open desert planes. And SO will you unless you have over whelming numbers. Luckily the open desert areas can be somewhat avoided in the operations map. Unless YOU THINK you have over whelming force. LOL Then it is worth attempting to flank the bad guys.
