Capture Hill 182:
—————–
While not nessacarilly a cheat, it is cheap. Select the 2 infantry
squads and engineer squad you start this map with, and right click the
command point your supposed to capture at the top of the hill. While
they are making thier way up, quickly fill your barracks queue with
infantry and the BAR upgrade, then follow the group you sent up progress.
Towards the top they will come across the artillary spotting tower which
you need to take out for the medal. fill it up with grenades to take it
out, and quickly garrioson it when its clear. now a Panzer and a fire
truck might block the road up to the top, just quickly pop in and out of
the tower and toss sticky bombs on the panzer. You might lose this first
squad but its ok. Back at base just keep producing infantry until your
population cap is reached, group all squads in 1 and right click the
command point at the top of the hill and start your violent exodious.
ignore most the treats on the way off, but dont hesitate to sticky bomb
any of the fire trucks that might stop you, as soon as thier taken out
right click on the command point again. The sheer mass numbers is too
much for the enemy to wipe out completly so your squads will make it
through though probaly 1 or 2 to a squad once thier at the command point
its hard for the enemy to dislodge them, and viola, easy way to beat a
hard level.
Destroy Axis HQ in St. Fromond easily:
————————————–
Although this isn’t a cheat is is easy to do. Earn at least one command
point and get the Air Recon ability, then recon at the enemy HQ. The AA
guns there should shoot your plane down but the plane will go into the
enemy HQ and do lots of damage to it. Do this three times and the HQ
will fall and the Medal for doing it is yours!
Tank Driving and Maneuvering:
—————————–
The only thing important in tank driving refers to the tanks ability to
reverse the way you want it to. Moving forward isn’t a problem. Backing
up is. If you click a destination too far from the tanks current position,
the tank will turn first and move later. This will make the tank vulnerable
to enemy fire (side and rear armor), especially in tight situations.
Clicking a short distance behind the tank, will make the tank retreat/reverse
without making any unnecessary turns while making sure the strong front armor
still faces the enemy.
This however, is better used with individual tanks. Moving tanks in groups
under fire is almost impossible to simulate effectively though.
Maximizing the use of Snipers:
——————————
The uses of Snipers are obvious: Kill a dude wearing a helmet and disappear
before his buddies can think of a swear word!
But Snipers also have a secondary use often taken for granted: their ability
to Camouflage. As long as they are under camouflage orders, they will not be
seen under any circumstance (except by anti-sniper units). This is extremely
useful in the front lines as Snipers have a very long sight range which works
well together with your artillery and other Snipers!
Just remember to opt the Hold Fire command or your Sniper-Scout will be
another body bag in the front lines.
