Prima’s Official Strategy Guide
Notes: The Böhler sits very low on the ground, requiring you to crouch down behind the gun’s breach to operate it. Although its squat design isn’t very intimidating, it’s a very capable anti-tank gun and can even be used against infantry. However, the gun’s inability to rotate more than a few degrees makes it susceptible to flanking maneuvers.
AA Gun Country of Origin: Germany Notes: The AA gun is a bulky piece of machinery with four barrels capable of automatic fire. It takes a few seconds for the gun to warm up once the trigger is pulled. Although it was designed as an anti-aircraft weapon, also use it to engage ground targets. With enough concentrated hits, it has enough firepower to destroy a tank.
88mm Flak Cannon Country of Origin: Germany Notes: Like the AA gun, the flak cannon was originally designed as an anti-aircraft gun. But its large 88mm proved to be effective for taking out tanks also. Firing is as simple as lining up the crosshairs and pulling the trigger. Be prepared for a lengthy reloading process between shots.
Granatwerfer Country of Origin: Germany Notes: This is one of the trickiest weapons at your disposal, but with some practice you should be able to place mortar rounds with precision. Use the mouse to rotate and adjust the pitch of the mortar tube. Lowering the pitch increases the mortar’s range, and raising it decreases the range. You’ll have to experiment with a few shots before hitting your intended target. The mortar is a very deadly weapon, so make sure you’re not firing on allies. It’s best used in situations where you can place rounds on narrow choke points, such as alleys and other predictable thoroughfares. In a pinch, you can even use it against enemy armor.
