Infantry- Tips 'n' Tactics
Infantry ::: The basic unit type , it is recommended to keep one Infantry man as your default. The Primary weeapon is an M1-Garand (M1G) , secondary is chosen as grende by many , but Secondary should always be a Pistol (When unlocked) , while the Third weapon as a grenade or bazooka(Different causes, i will explain). It is a good mix of firepower and agility , you can change an infantryman into anything you want , here are the few mixes :

Guard: primary objective : Defend positions. Recommended Weapon(s): M1 garand , Gewehr 43 , Maschinenpistole 34 or 40(Mp 34/40) , M3 'Grease Gun' or Thompson. M1 Garand and Gewehr 43 : Can be used by Guards who dont excel in Cqc/Cqb but long ranges , recommended upgrades : Precision , Stability . MP's and M3/Thompson : Close quarter fighters , recommended upgrades : Power. Grenades are necessary.

Anti-tank : Primary Objective : Destroy enemy vehicles/ armor. Recommended Weapon(s): Same as guard.Bazooka / panzershrek(PzRpBy) is necessary. Should get support from a SMG gunner and Rifleman.Recommended upgrades:Power and accuracy.

Infantry Shooter : Primary objective: Kill enemies from a distance. Recommended weapon(s):M1 Garand , Gewehr 43 or M1903 Springfeild/ Karabiner 98 Kurz (K98k).recommended upgrades: Stability , power and precision.Keep Distance! DO NOT go straight into the enemy , your job is to Take them out from a distance!. Grenades are necessary if the enemy closes you from a distance!.

Support Gunner: Primary objective: give moving soldiers cover.Recommended weapon(s): Machine Gun(Light , heavy Mg's etc).Grenades are necessary.Recommended Upgrades: Fire Rate , power and stability.

Note: Keep near Tanks , armored vehicles and other infantrymen.


Tactics :

Flanking : Needs two or more people. Group up! make a covering team , MG's or any rapid firing thing.A flanking team , these will go over sides and kill the enemy, needs Smg's.

Breaching :: This will aid in going into buildings swarming with hostiles/enemys.Throw AT LEAST one grenade in before you enter a building!(Dont run in if the grenade did not explode or you may get killed) . Work in groups.One group will throw a grenade in.the other will enter.The first group will throw a grenade in the entering area. After hearing the explosion the second group should enter like a shock group , quiclky neutralizing the enemies that were still left by the grenade.

More tactics to be added soon!.


Tankers-Tips 'n' Tactics
About tanking , its tips and tactics.Primary Objective: Support Infantry/destroy other tanks.

Light Tanks : These are lightly armored tanks that usually have a machine gun , higher tier tanks also have a cannon. Primary objective:Support Infantry , Destroy light tanks/ vehicles (Note that the default tank should only be used against light tanks when there is no other way).Weapons: Light tanks/submachine guns (No grenades/rifles or spades are allowed).


Medium tanks: These tanks are more armored than light tanks and pack a powerful punch.Primary objective:Same as light tanks(Can even challenge heavier tanks if en masses!)
Primary Weapon:medium Tanks , Submachine guns only!(No grenades/rifles or spades)

Heavy Tanks: More armoured and powerful than medium tanks.Can take out light vehicles , light armour and light tanks.Primary Objective: Same as Medium tanks(Can challenge the Tank destroyer).Primary weapon: Heavy tanks , Submachine guns only!(No grenades/rifles or spades)

Tank Destroyer:Much MUCH POWERFUL THAN OTHER TANKS!.Can easily destroy heavy targets.Primary Objective:Same as Heavy tanks(Note that ammo capacity is a bit low , so use the Machine gun against infantry).Primary weapons: Tank Destroyers(Currently only one is available for each faction).


Tips: Always have a few infantrymen near you!
You can use the spanner(repairing tool) to repair your tank if damaged , but remember to do it in a hidden place with support from infantry.

Tactics:

There are not a lot of tactics for tanks.

being Together: Use a Blitzkrieg(V-style formation) to give more support to infantry and each other.

Utilizing Ammo: Use the Machine Gun for Infantry, Armor Peircing rounds for tanks and He rounds for Clearing swarms of infantry/lightly armoured vehicles.
Piloting - Tips 'n' Tactics
BEWARE! Really tough for handling!

Pilot: Basically a pilots main task is to destroy other planes , call for infantry support (Infantry mounted on AA's or Jeep Mg's) if you are being shot down.A tip: it is recommended to be on the German Faction if you want to be a pilot, American plane(P38-Lightning) has a bulky frame and i less agile and more bigger than the german Messerschmitt BF-109 thus making it more vulnurable ot both ground and air fire. If the enemy planes are down(Thier resources eliminated/Assault team eliminated or defeated) , feel free to go after ground targets. ACPR rounds can easily destroy planes / tanks. HE rounds can kill pilot or infantry extremely fast. ACP rounds can be good only against planes.

Note: P38 lightning has two bombs and if the previous bombs miss , you will not have to wait for another bombing run , while the BF-109 has only one bomb but due to its agility , you can dive bomb (Good for destroying anything with accuracy).

Tips: Bombs are unlimited , but take time to reload.Do NOT throw bombs down thinking it will increase you speed / agility.It WONT! And that maybe your last bombs you could ever drop on a battlefeild!

Fly in squads , cover each others backs , again the Blitzkrieg is good , if you come under fire , break formation and try to engage the one that poses the highest threat.

Submachine guns are necessary!

If you need more Flying information , please check out the Flying School Guide (Will get you started about controls , and i swear i didnt copy anything from there)
Paratroops- Tips 'n' Tactics
Paratroops are elite units that can deploy anywhere and can mount on shock attacks!

Types:

Pathfinder(s): These drop in before the main Paratroop force , with the aim of securing or cleaning as much as possible of the enemies there.Recommended Weapons: Same as infantry.Recommended upgrades: same as infantry.

Elite Force/Main Paratroops: Come in after the Pathfinders with the aim of capturing or clearing the area.Recommended Weapons: Same as pathfinders.Recommended upgrades:Same as Pathfinders.

Tips: Drop in groups , pathfinders can have groups of 3(as per my recommendations) and Elite Force/ Main Paratroops should drop in with about 6-10 Paratroops.


Tactics: The same tactics apply to Paratroops as the Infantry , as paratroops are also infantry , but can drop in anywhere.
