quickly. Saying to yourself "Someone else will take care of it" is a
bad habit to get in. If it's possible, respond to the threat yourself.
Planting pungi sticks or placing mines in obvious places may not kill
or damage, but will slow down troop advances while they decide how
to get around it.
In the Hue maps, place mines at the end of your bridge, this helps
prevent rush attacks with tanks, scooters, or jeeps.
You can also try jumping off the bridge in Reclaiming Hue and going
through a hole in the wall to the left of the bridge.
If the Stars and Bars station or the N.V.A. propaganda is getting
annoying, you can destroy it with a few well aimed assault rifle bullets.
Dropping bombs and flying planes are harder than in Battlefield
1942. Remember an increased speed means an increased
bomb arch (how far the bomb is catapulted after you release it.)
If you're in a helicopter, keep moving, just like infantry. RPGs and
small arms do more damage to jets and helicopters than you may
think.
Log traps tend to be little or no threat against advancing troops.
They don't roll that far, but still should be something to keep an eye
on. However, the log trap near the ruins on top of the hill in
Operation Irving may be effective against tanks. Also, if you need to
destroy an empty vehicle, they work well too. They also make a nice
distraction.
Placing mines at the bridge just south and north of the bridges
surrounding the temple in Ho Chi Minh Trail and Cambodian
incursion is a good way to make sure that tank your team's scout
reported may not get to the Control Point on time.
Try to go in the least obvious sniping positions you can find. Spots
like this bunker or a watch tower are not good ideas, as they are
some of the first spots enemy troops look at for snipers and such,
while natural elevated positions like hills are better, because they
offer the height advantage but are sometimes overlooked.
