We've all seen war films and the tactics used in these and because
BF1942 is so realistic, these tactics actually work! More of these
will be added later on as we learn more, but here are a few tasters.
If you are assaulting a machine gun outpost, it is best to use a three-way
attack, as in the film Saving Private Ryan. The machine gunner can't
cover three areas, so send three troops, two flanking and one in the
middle to throw grenades at the gunner. This should work with minimal
casualties; however if a sniper is available use his scope to hit
the enemy.
Always send your destroyer round to attack the enemies landing positions
and their ships. This will greatly affect their war effort. Always
use planes to bomb landing craft as one craft may contain five or
six men.
Always work in groups, two tanks are better than one, and never go
in straight lines for more than ten seconds, as you give enemy artillery
an easy target.
Always man AA guns whenever there are planes about, one plane can
stop a whole advance
Always use what vehicles you have and try to fill them up before you
leave, e.g. don't take a half-track by yourself, as it is more useful
if there are several people in it.
Always use Jeeps to get to the first flags so that you have a front
line base straightaway, it is easier to defend than to attack.
