Part 2: How to regain tank dominance if you loose your advantage.

I think we all know the situation you just lost all your tanks and the enemy has at least two heavy’s on the field. How do you regain control to be able to push back and start supporting the infantry in an offensive manner again?

The main goal in this time period is just to hold back the enemy from pushing until you have control of your resources again where you can risk loosing one of your tanks in an offensive play.

First you need to get a heavy again, until then the infantry has to manage the enemy tanks with at guns and other resources. After you play a slow game so you position yourself defensively and make sure that there is no enemy infantry sneaking around or that you are standing protected with your own infantry. Note that the position you use needs to be far enough back and controllable that even in case you get attacked by enemy infantry you can fend them off without worrying about enemy heavy tanks.
From this position you can try to pick off enemy heavys but only in a way that you can take cover directly after getting hit or being in danger of getting hit.

All you want to do is nurture this tank threw and pose a threat to the enemy heavys so they can not push. Only once you have a second heavy you can start to counterpush in a coordinated attempt with the other heavy. For example you can double peak and take out one of the enemy heavys or create a crossfire, cover each other and do other magic things.

Hope that helpes someone =)

PS. the numbers may vary depending on the enemy constellation and playstyle and the frontline.
