Wargame: AirLand Battle Tactics - How to Use Infantry

[@iridium249]

Nice video. I would add something I learned about from another youtuber, and that is that some infantry can fire their MGs while moving and some cannot. This helped me a fair bit, as now I know to use the former for assaults/forests and the latter for defending in towns!

[@NovembreBleus]

I must say, I just found your channel and am quite impressed. Nice work.

[@oldcrogamer9790]

yeah,some units can fire their MG.'s while moving,this def. affect how unit performs,to other people:always check if unit have static or no static bellow their mg. stats in armory

[@Gibbons3457]

2. I would add that AA infantry are your go to Chopper killers for the front lines. They are your first defense against aircraft and in numbers can force the opponent to evac before an airstrike has been made. They aren't that good at killing Planes (or shouldn't be).

It's a lot easier to show ground based tactics using a ground based army. I'll be doing a helos video next week which will feature some potent NATO choppers.

[@visassess8607]

I wish they were better defended jn the woods. Somehow a tank against buildings makes them great but a squad in dense woods makes them die like they're out in the open?

[@Renegade5115]

I know right? I had to resort to hit and runs. Pack 4 units in Humvees, go around the map (the right side has a shit ton of trees) and rush. Find the Command Vehicle, unload, kill and retreat.

[@TheTroublmaker]

When you select to bomb a unit hold the shift key and select the direction you'd like them to break to. This will cause them to turn back towards your base before evacing.

[@TheTroublmaker]

Unfortunately covering every single infantry unit's specific purpose would take up too much time and would run too long. I'd say roughly 50% of the matches I cast feature spec ops infantry so the answer you seek might be found in match casts.

[@TheTroublmaker]

Well it'd be nice if you'd watch all my terribly boring videos :P. But really I have all of my contact information made available in the description. You are free to ask any questions at any time.

[@Tejmaster1]

How would you deal with the infantry that were killing the m1 Abrams from inside the building ? Surely if u move anti infantry in they will be killed on way in if a tank is killed

[@QooperG28]

Airstrike in form of HE bombs or Napalm OR Smoke artybarrage + your own infantry (this is especially effective if you drop some normal arty shells on their heads too, this will stunn or at least shaken them a bit which gives you an improtant advantage in a fight)

[@TheTroublmaker]

It's the type of weapons people are using against them. Most vehicles and most tanks have anti-infantry weapons, so when in the open they get obliterated. As well when vehicles get picked off infantry that survive get stunned. Try using a unit like the apache to wipe out infantry, you will find that it takes a very long time to beat back this unit.

[@supermonkeywtf09]

Great video man! Keep it going!

[@oldcrogamer9790]

agree on this infantry in open and in woods getting destroyed way to easily,even with light armor or scout vhiecles,if they travel in trucks sometimes they got destroyed instantly with no time to exit a truck and fire back. the thing changes completely when they enter the buildings,they become overpowered and almost completely immune to artillery.....

[@TheNinetails69]

really good guide! i like to use infantry and support

[@rAAAnciiid]

nice work man!

[@TheTroublmaker]

I agree some tanks are a problem, I disagree infantry is the problem. For what infantry is it represents a very potent and powerful unit. It's possible some units have to be tuned down when in woods.... but I don't believe it has a problem with infantry being underpowered. They trade insanely cost effectively in towns with most units. Thanks for the thoughtful posts.

[@Andrewza1]

i love infantry

[@Gibbons3457]

Pretty good, well rounded, though there are some things I would add and/or challenge. 1. Regular infantry at the minute are a tad under powered. Your example wasn't representative of the problems mentioned on the forums. The main problem with these units is they are too easily killed in woods by even light tanks, only getting one rocket off, if that. In towns the are better but still are too easily overwhelmed. 1 M1A1 is not the problem: 10 - 20 T55, 10 T65 or 4 T80 are. (cont)

[@Gibbons3457]

It is the former I dislike. It does not properly reflect infantry, if an infantry unit is caught out in the open it is rare that the all get killed, casualties yes but TPK is rare. Forests are also way to much cover for tanks to pop an entire infantry division is one or two shots. Suppress them, prevent them from shooting but the rate of deaths in ALB is higher than you'd see in WW2, it's pushing WW1 levels of casualties. The towns are about where they should be.

[@brainwavepowermusicOFFICIAL]

Wat!!!!!! I had no idea this could be done

[@Hoskins66]

It's French, pronounced "Fa-go" LOL

[@cooperproductions3731]

*what if my infantry is getting cucked by tanks from a long range and they can't return fire?*

[@lorcis1]

most tanks have poor optics, some have medium, poor can't see infantry in towns at all, it means they have some recon nearby spotting for the tanks. at it's core, this game is about recon, you gotta find and kill em, do what you can to protect the infantry till then, maybe retreat them, smoke em, recon helos are good for finding recon. whenever the enemy get recon close to you things can get very bad, recon is the key, use smoke to advance recon. Lt Scouton 2 years ago what if my infantry is getting cucked by tanks from a long range and they can't return fire?

[@DoubleRD]

hopefully this can help me beat the 3rd tutorial mission.....im getting wrecked....

[@nikyfgh]

5:00 Czech! :D

[@bootygoblin784]

4:57 Im sorry, did you just assume that soldiers sexual orientation?

[@sowpmactavish]

inputry

[@TheTroublmaker]

The NATO infantry act exactly the same unfortunately

[@deafstikx6630]

I disagree! AA infantry is very good, I am going to say that this tutorial really downs infantry and you do not know how to effectively use infantry. To use AA inf DO NOT GROUP THEM UP!!!! Spread them out in the woods with Riflemen and other AA vehicles. It shoots down alot of jets and helos more than you think when 4 or 6 groups are spread out PLUS they are very stealthy and they cost so little they are like low level AA vehicles that cost 1/4 of the points

[@gtaclevelandcity]

This game sucks in general. The controls are utterly unresponsive and infantry in buildings wont shoot at a tank thats five feet in front of them. I wish I never spent money on this game.

[@unknownpack5717]

gtaclevelandcity can you explain the controls and infantry against tank problem?

[@thatwouldbeillegal7047]

gtaclevelandcity I think the controls are nice. and there using rpgs not javlins. use anti tank if you want to hit tanks
