Well, let's do a quick review of Tanks and Infantry in support of each other in Urban Environments.

What we see here is a pair of French tanks being supported by a squad of French infantry during one of their training scenarios.

One of my personal favorites is this one, using the tank as mobile cover. Note they're hanging off to one side, which would seem to mean that they're expecting contact from that one flank, or they're getting ready to jump to a different portion of cover.

Remember, the tank is there to kill anything the infantry cannot kill easilly.

tanks are also used as mobile baracades, and infantry are used to kill stuff the tanks can kill in a logistical sence.

we called them tippers.

he aint coming back for OIF 3....

i always try to use this rule as much as i can, 1 tank to 1 squad of infantry with the infantry running close behind the tank for cover, when in a choke point infantry clear choke point, then tanks advances
