Learn how to hunt panthers and defend your base in Company of Heroes 2 mission 11 using AT guns and sticky bombs.
Walkthrough
- 1Capture the point to the left of your HQ and establish a strong defense. Build several AT guns, a halftrack, and 4 rifle squads. Supplement with Shermans and an extra Wolverine if space allows.
- 2Use your sniper to scout areas near capture points, as the map contains numerous German armors. Proceed with extreme caution.
- 3MG and mortar crews are largely ineffective for direct combat in this mission; instead, utilize MG emplacements for defensive purposes.
- 4Maintain a mobile base defense consisting of one Sherman, 2 AT guns, and an engineer. Deploy the rest of your army to hunt panthers.
- 5Capturing points will reduce the panthers' operational area, making them easier to detect when they move to attack your Forward Operations Points (OPs).
- 6When panthers are detected, sneak up on them and attack from behind.
- 7Use sticky bombs, especially when applied to the rear of panzers, as they have a good chance of disabling or destroying the tank's engine. Four sticky bombs on a panther can often lead to its destruction.
- 8When attacking, lure panzers into open areas to destroy them with minimal unit losses. Avoid rushing blindly into areas with garrisoned buildings or AT guns hidden around corners.
- 9Build forward barracks when possible to deploy AT guns and rifle squads from the front lines rather than your main base.
Tips
- Infantry and AT gun losses are less critical than tank losses, so use them extensively for various tasks.
- Two Wolverines flanking a panther can result in a quick and decisive battle.
- Scout with your sniper to identify enemy armor locations.
- Use MG emplacements as defensive structures.
- A mobile defense of one Sherman, 2 AT guns, and an engineer can protect your base.
- Attacking panthers from behind, especially after they are detected, is highly effective.
- Patience is key; lure panzers into the open to engage them.
- Be cautious of ambushes from garrisoned buildings and AT guns.
- Forward barracks allow for faster reinforcement of front-line units.
