being releassed very soon, how do the infentry counter the tanks and apc's?, seeing that they can see you and hit you from a billion miles away and we as infentry haven't a clue as to where it's coming from.
The sight's on the H-at have been reduced so as a foot soldier what can we do?
and before you say "get your tanks to get them" well that would be nice if they weren't perched on a hill somewhere doing the excate same thing to the other side.
So what's the best way to solve this?

what the buildings in the middle of the desert?
so the new role for infentry is to stay close to populated area's?

Wait 'till they are near urban environment,then eat em up with light or heavy AT.
If the armor doesn't come near urban environments,well....then put up some vehicles in strategic positions there and waste the infantry with the .50

To deal with tanks, do what infantry does in real life: Do not combat them in the open. Fight them in the cities instead.
Also, do not walk around on foot. Use the vehicles to quickly move from CP to CP, minimizing your time in the open where you are defenseless.

exactly. Tanks are designed so that they provide cover for the crew and so that they are deadly. So there is no point in going to a position where they can engage you, since that won't end well.
Either use your own vehicles, or then flank them, or then just leave them there and move away from them.

1) Use vehicles to move across the desert. No, don't just take the Blackhawk for yourself.
2) Engage tanks in the city. Tanks are pretty screwed in urban environments.
3) Use jets and attack helicopters to attack them.

Yeah works well enough, until a tank round nails car and kills the entire squad

I thought it was 4*4km, not 10,000,000*10,000,000 mi?

Get the fly boys to do their job of CAS instead of poncing around the skies performing barrel rolls, Immelmann Turns, loop-the-loops & indulging themselves in little Von Richthofen-esque duels.
You know who you are....
Show-off's! Help the ground-pounders.

They're just not skilled enough to take off with the F-16, which anyone can do.

Murphy's law #234q234124: When a tank is killing you and your squad, the A-10's are elsewhere.

That reminds me, I was stuck with my squad on a hill south of south bunker, pinned down by 3 tanks constantly firing on us.
I ask if the A10 could take them out. I check the minimap, and the A10 looks as if it's warping across the map.
I ask again. I check the minimap, A10's not in the air.
That's how we spent 10 minutes under fire.

Oh or this:
-A10 spawns
-pilots jumps in, warms up
-A10 takes off
-everyone is "yeey, A10's up"
1 min later:
"we need the A10, where is it?"
And what no one knows, A10 crashed upon take off, cos the pilot is a slowpoke, that cant react in time...
