Flak38

How the hell are you meant to deal with these things when they come on wave 1 / 2?
Suddenly you’ve got an infantry shredder on field without ANYTHING that can reliably take it down.
(I’m talking as of standard deployment of course)

A variety of ways. They still seem to be friendly firing, despite urb’s best efforts, so run a man or two up to right in front of it and watch it blow up. Otherwise, a bazooka might possibly work. Or you could just shoot it out.

Another note, a bunker will render the flak 38 completely useless, so keep your frontline units in a bunker.

concentrate fire. your men can shoot the crew.

Yeah right! Few 18 skills guys and an officer with 8 rifle skill ended up of Flak kill my whole squad!
OR MEDIC comes out, got Flak and ribbed, another one, GERMAN HAS FLANKED YOU AND 88 BATTERIES SHOT AT YOU
Ribbed him again! FAILED!

When artillery pieces come in before I have a bunker I just run past them and advance, of course I do that anyways until I get a bunker. :)
