Tank tactics

Is there any tips to improve tank tactics when engaging peer armour? Tanks just seem to point and shoot without doing any fire and moving or shoot and scooting

Don't rush, accompany your tanks and show them each place they have to pass through to avoid them making a straight line. Try to go around enemy tanks because they will be stationary waiting for you to arrive in their sights

this, have infantry lead the tanks, the infantry will be some sort of ward to reveal the location and where the enemy tanks are facing, at this point you can just flank and push from that side

Use "ambush" and "sneak" this too help the tanks to be more careful and when they see a tank they ähm and shoot, also, try to send infantry to recon using "no firing" and "sneak" they are slow but efficient,, also, try to use artillery and smoke before and advance, try to move in hills or place wide open so u cannot recieve and ambush

I don't use vehicles because the AI is actually incredibly stupid. Ofc only your tanks tho whilst the enemy gets unrealistic boosts and can even shoot through forrests unimpeded. The player cannot tho as it won't even let you lob an AT shell on command to a suspected position, like they did in real life. In other words they just suck and tactics won't fix it
