Anti Tank Guns

[Roto]

So, my current strategy for these things is to NOT spawn in them! I'm a total sitting duck and they move super slow. Any advice? I play the german side. Which one moves the fastest? Typically I'll spawn that bazooka guy, but they are not always available. When that happens, I refuse to spawn an AT gun, just a huge waste of time.

The 37mm is weak but if you are close enough you can kill. If you are firing long distance you're probably just advising the enemy where the FMS is and where you are at so they can kill you too.

Some people are quite deadly with them . I have a squad mate I would hate to have hunting for me with one. Im not sure how he does it or if he just has a lucky rabbits foot.

Can you tow them? I think once they are in place, they can be effective, but getting there, no way. I never make it more then 5 minutes.

yes, easily towed on both sides by trucks and halftracks. there is even a subscription with which you get a free 'towing' 2nd account - so you can tow your own atg to good spots. the trucks/htracks also can resupply the atg.  

so some vet atg specialists make an atg mission, tow their gun to a spot, and either leave the truck to resupply, or set an ammo cache and fms from the truck and then spawn a 2nd acct engineer to build gun emplacements for the atg, or a rifle/smg/sniper/lmg to guard the atg. or all of the above in order. 

a good squad with enough players on can also set an atg gun line with emplacements, infantry cover and resupply in an offensive or defensive zone of control. don't see it too much recently, but perhaps will make a comeback with so many new players. 

there is also a (somewhat out of date) ATG Training Guide on the game wiki, which Wiki is linked both to these forums and the steam forums (under guides). some sapper/atr guides are also good for determining armour vulnerable spots for atgs as well. (see bazo's guides stickied above or look for parasit's guides to start)
