• AT soldiers are not rushing units, they are support units. So always make sure that they are not in the 1st line of your squad but rather on the back.

Against Infantry

Able to engage but not recommended, they are inferior in shooting in comparison to other infantry like a rifleman. Use prone position to maximize accuracy and range.

How to defend against

• The AT soldier is efective against all ground-attack vehicles. Try not to use them against him or at least choose fast ones [ Humvee / BRDM2 ] or load HE shells when commanding a tank.
• Like other specialized infantry classes they are weak against riflemen, officers and machinegunners.
• Clear them if they're in a building with a rifleman's / officers grenades, a sniper, a RPO Soldier or by using a Humvee Mk19, BRDM2 or Artillery.
• Defensive structures deal devastating results to infantry.
• Helicopters and Low-flying planes work well against them.
