	In the context of Coalition missions, AFVs are usually employed as a support asset. Our gameplay revolves around our infantry platoon; it includes the majority of the players and is always the center of our planning and operations. The AFV in this context, while a valuable asset, is used in order to increase the effectiveness of the infantry, not vice-versa. Premier tasks are usually the destruction of enemy vehicles, base-of-fire and countering enemy assaults. Due to some AFVs transport capability, it may also carry troops to battle, evacuate casualties or resupply friendly troops at the discretion of the Platoon Leader.

			In the context of Coalition missions, AFVs are usually employed as a support asset. Our gameplay revolves around our infantry platoon; it includes the majority of the players and is always the center of our planning and operations. The AFV in this context, while a valuable asset, is used in order to increase the effectiveness of the infantry, not vice-versa. Premier tasks are usually the destruction of enemy vehicles, base-of-fire and countering enemy assaults. Due to some AFVs transport capability, it may also carry troops to battle, evacuate casualties or resupply friendly troops at the discretion of the Platoon Leader.

	In the context of our missions, usually one single AFV is attached to the platoon in a support role. Its role is to assist the infantry in the completion of their objectives according to the orders of the Platoon Leader, who may specify the nature of the support the vehicle is to give or allow it to operate largely independent. Premier tasks are usually the destruction of enemy vehicles, base-of-fire and countering enemy assaults. Due to most AFVs transport capability, it may also carry troops to battle, evacuate casualties or resupply friendly troops at the discretion of the PL.

AFV Tactics

@@ Line 102: / Line 102: @@
 * '''The Hull-Down Position''' This position is your ideal position from which to engage the enemy from. Here, the hull of the vehicle is behind some form of cover facing the main threat direction - in most cases terrain, such as a hill, but can also be a town wall. This way, only the turret, the vehicles most armored and dangerous part - is exposed. Take care that you are able to "dodge" out of your position if you find yourself suddenly facing a threat you cannot combat - for example, an incoming ATGM.
 * '''Shoot and scoot''' This tactic is usually associated with artillery batteries, which shoot, then pack up and move to a different position to avoid counter-battery fire. In the same way, a normal AFV can make use of multiple prepared or improvised positions it can reach without exposing itself to the enemy's observation to counter anti-vehicle assets aimed at their previous position.
 * '''Air Defense''' Generally, if an air threat is active that is able to destroy the vehicle, it is a game of hide-and-seek. Utilize any cover available or speed and maneuvering to make yourself a hard target. Remember, the lock-on of most anti-tank missiles can be thrown off by interrupting the line of sight, for example by driving into or past a wooded area. If discovered, try to engage the air threat however possible, as determined AA-fire may deter or damage it.
 * '''Platoon Movement''' A Platoon usually describes between 3-4 vehicles of the same kind operating as a single unit. Maneuvering and fighting as a part of such a platoon is similar to working in an infantry fireteam - just on a much bigger scale. From bounding, cover, assaulting to watching sectors, most basic tactics can be applied on vehicles in a modified fashion.
