Not exactly news. Cool-headed infantry in an urban environment will eat armor alive. Though I'm wondering how effective Arena and Shtora are in combination. |

Cool-headed infantry in an urban environment will eat armor alive. Yep … that is just one of the terrain types we trained in for tank killing … Certainly, one of the better locales.

Hopefully we'd never have to do that, but at least we were trained to do so … This is why I always thought infantry and armor went hand in hand.
Yep … as a Mech Co. Cdr, we were usually attached to a Tank Bn … |
