On bf2 Pr it is teamwork that leads you to victory so it is needed to have good communication with everyone on your team.
The wedge tactic
The wedge is a fast paced assault to break through enemy lines covered by smoke and tanks smashing through enemy lines destroying them it is an easy tactic to do so try it.

A drawing from paint or a similar program may help to illustrate your Tactic better , although what you're trying to convey sounds good, it's lacking in detail a little.

Ahh but making a wedge can be seen as a con too as it limits the right and left tanks firing view.

Wedge tactics for aurmour is only used when advancing to fire position couse they cover 180° and also 360°swep when they work without infantry support at back. This tactics is used becouse if it comes to engaging the enemy left and right flank of formation have better and qucker maneuverability. In the line formation if the left and right flank r too slow they could crash the tanks couse if they are engaged to evade is not going back or foward, they r going left and right. Formation depends on terrain.

I'm curious as to what map this strategy works on. In theory it sounds like it may work, but I really doubt seeing this tactic being effective on any map in PR that has enough tanks to even try it.

Wedge is good for advancing but as soon as you get into contact , move into a line

wedge, line etc looks very nice. But tbh in PR since we cant' enage on the move very well and engagement distances are no more than 1000m etc you just need to be within 75m of eachother and you'll do ok.

It should work on Kashan and Qingling, But there is one thing is they can always come in from behind and shoot you. It is nice to have ifv to support the tanks.

dont bunch up, sometimes both tanks can get damaged from same round/HAT etc.

try it on kashan with 2 tanks supported by Bradly's and the brad's having inafntry dismounts with HATS and LATS. tanks cover as the brads flank and then use there tows and let the Infantry dismount.

What's the point in charging about like the Light Brigade if you have to stop to fire?

I'd say the majority of the time if I'm moving in PR and come in to contact with a static tank, the static tank will win.

If the target is static there's no need to lead it.

The issue is having a stable firing platform to hit the turret of a tank at 900m, if you can do that then you're a better player than I. Then again, most are :p

just lead it like you would if it was moving and your stationary, but past 400m i would do berm drills.

Maybe on Desert rats it works but since servers don''t run it but I think it should still be run cause it is fun, tried toaday in single player. It's possible to shoot while on the go, you need the driver to hold t so they wont turn and stuff. You need to be very very cordinated.
