New Player (Hi!) and dealing with AT

[tehyama]

Hey everyone, just picked up the game after watching some dev vids/streams and loving it so far. Hope to see you all online!

In the few games I've played, I notice I usually get a bit stumped when dealing with Anti-Tank that is set up already in a commanding position. I've dealt with it in the following ways:

1) Bring in the air support!
2) Artillery from a concealed position
3) Heavier tanks?

Just curious on other people's strategies for dealing with these crews that have a propensity to turn my little tanks into +45's.

best way is to recon the AT and use ART to flush it out

Artillery bombardment to stress it (maybe kill it if you're lucky), smoke bombardment to blind it, infantry assault if it's poorly protected, or air strike if you're confident in your air superiority.

Bombs or missiles launched from a plane is always the most easy way to annihilate them.

Another idea is to overhelm them with a bunch of tanks and halftracks, but you could have unnecessary losses, depending on the caliber of the AT- gun.

Since AA in phase A is useless and players don't buy air support usually, I always buy a single or two fighters to deal with AA (counter intuitive I Know but it works) and AT. In late game though it doesn't work because of the good AA.
