Besides heavy artillery then a whistle then over the top what are some WW1 era tactics?
don’t die for your country, kill the other guy for his.
Hmmmm wow how insightful please tell me more. Lol
Point and shoot. Pull pin and toss.
Which level are you after.
The battle of Hamel introduce a combine arms tactic which seem obvious now but back then not so much.
It was Artillery pound the enemy, stop then Infantry go over the top even when tanks entered nothing much changed.
Lots of tactics where used either they developed or evolved.
- Cavalry Charges.
- Amphibious assault.
- Walking Artillery.
- Infantry bait and flank, used when attacking fixed position/pillar boxes.
- Smoke as cover was in the early stages of development.
- Gas to inhibit the enemy so you could take their position easily.
- Aircraft first started as spotters, where height was seen as the key to survival but you need to go low to see the enemy.
- Miners digging tunnels under enemy lines to blow them up. Counter diggers to find them.
- Some Snipers shot to wound, so they could kill those that came to help.
- Trench Raiders small groups that would cross no-man land to either take prisoners or cause trouble.
Kill people and don’t die.
be polite, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
Here is something you might find of interest.
I’ve been watching them thanks for the link though it’s an amazing channel.
It really is. It has specials on gas, air tactics etc too.
Not to worried about air tactics feeling confident even a little when it comes to dogfights lol
I will be interested how this plays out - in BF4 a well equipped diverse squad of 5 that plays and sticks together to achieve objectives can really do damage.
In WWI there is a different battlefield and more of a face to face slugfest instead of the tactical approach that you can take in BF4. Different warfare = different tactics I’m sure. It should be fun imo to figure out what works best on this game.
Set up mg nest. Point towards enemy. Shoot anything that moves. Profit.
