How?

[Neppy]

How am i supposed to deal with tanks in the new trench combat game mode when the units I am given dont have AT??

Seriously, I was given 2 frenchie cards, teh 3 dudes from the 1st, and then the 29th inf cards. All with either the m1 carbine, springfield or the sten gun.

Then there is another issue on HOW DO I USE THE ITEMS MY UNITS PICK UP??? I had a panzerfaust at one point that the unit would not use, I tried to do what you would normally in either classic or in the campaign but it would not use it at all. All in all, it felt very unfair and frustrating. Especially when the tank is just sitting back and bombarding my trench when I can do jack **** to it.

Any tips would be nice too.

Equipment your units pick up will be used almost randomly so if your guys have panzerfausts they may be able to hit a tank with it. I was able to knock out 2 Stugs with infantry after taking a trench because small arms fire does damage to tanks.

I was just doing another game of trench combat and got an m20, that cost 6 tp, for one of my starting cards, which helped me FINALLY get through the 1st two missions? sectors? Anyways, I was able to get another 29th infantry card but they start with 3 rantom tier 4 weapons for 4 tp which I thought was pretty dang good considering the 1st 29th infantry card you get is also 4 tp. and while I was rushing the 1st sector, one of the frenchmen I got for fodder picked up a panzerfaust and shot it at an infantry unit instead of the tank that was shooting at them.

Trench mode is hot garbage, I've been playing for two hours and its been awful. New engine upgrades are fantastic but trench mode is really stupid. Commanding your guys can get really confusing when half are retreating to a random trench, half are in the back and half are cowering in the trench. 3 guys had AT capabilities and instead just took potshots at the behind of the stug. dumb

when I had this type of crap I kept surrendering until I lost my cards and got a new deck that was worth a damn

It's not a game mode for the faint of heart. It's rough until you can get a solid lineup of troops, and yeah you are going to take mass casualties.

This is the winning move here. You can also shift+click your cards on the loss screen to get rid of them and make that process faster! I tried it once and got a deck with 4 Frenchies/Random Guns/2TP, 3 First/Springfields/2TP, 3 Frenchies/Springfields/1TP (EPIC), among a couple others that I had in my first run. The 3F/1TP card was goated in the sauce, and the cheaper 1st Div card helped a lot too.

small arms can also destroy vehicles in this mode so you can just tough it out until they blow up.
