Ive never seen enemy infantry firing at me at 40 meters or more when they are in a defensive position (ie, havnt moved). All you see are the rounds coming at you. Until you close on them, I guess inside 30 meters or less do they start to show up. I wish I could post some video at St Honorine, were I had a infantry push for the Colleville exit. Bob had deployed a mg team at upper left corner of the hedge row (closest point he could deploy to my starting location). Not only did it work great as a spotting team to my advance, but also opened up on my first sneaking infantry team. I never seen them, but I knew once mortars started coming in that he had a team close by. So after I got them back together after the mortars, I started sneaking 2 more teams about 20 meters up from them (they wernt spotted). I began pressing the first team toward were I expect his team until they came back under fire (was prob around 40m at that point or less, still coudnt see them, yes at that point I started throwing mortar fire into were I thought they were). At that point I stopped them, and began rushing (fast move) other 2 teams I had a little to there right (left of them looking at map) by that time at were I expected his mg team. Sure enuff they apeared as the teams began closing in, at that point I rushed the first team directly at his mg team too. All 3 teams now are rushing, under mortar fire at that point and being targeted by his team. It prob lasted 5 seconds or so, but they closed fast and destroyed the mg team fairly quicky. I lost a few guys, but the battle was over very quickly. All guys then went back to sneak mode and cont. to press forward. I also had 5 more teams sneaking behind them also, incase there were more defending teams.
It wasnt much of a threat overall (that mg team was just a token setup to give away what direction I might be attacking), but one never knows and its always a good idea to deploy in strength when you are attacking into a unknown area so you can quickly surpress an invisble enemy team. Else they will pin your team down, then add in mortars, and you wont have your team left long!
Good luck in your strategies to defeat this feature of the game, it is very tuff to deal with at times.
Gz...
