¿Pero hasta que punto es poco realista?

4. BATTLE RECONNAISSANCE. (Gefechtsaufklarung)
a. GENERAL
Battle reconnaissance as a rule is begun when the opposing forces begin to deploy. All troops participating in battle carry out battle reconnaissance through patrols, artillery observation posts, observation battalions, and air reconnaissance units. The information obtained on the organization and strength of the enemy provides the basis for the conduct of the battle.
b. ARMORED CAR PATROLS.
The Panzer division dispatches armored reconnaissance units equipped with armored vehicles and numerous automatic weapons. The armored reconnaissance unit is fast and has a wide radius of action.
Armored car patrols normally are composed of three armored reconnaissance cars, one of which is equipped with radio. An artillery observer often accompanies the patrol so that in an emergency fire can be brought down quickly. This type of patrol usually is organized for missions lasting one to two days. Tasks are defined clearly, and nothing is allowed to interfere with the patrol’s main objective. If enemy forces are met, action is avoided unless the force is so weak that it can be destroyed without diverting the patrol from it's main task. If enemy action is anticipated, the patrol is reinforced with self-propelled guns and occasionally with tanks. Engineers and motorcyclists are often attached to the patrol to deal with road blocks and demolition’s.
While scouting a woods, a favorite German ruse is to drive the leading car towards it's edge, halt briefly to observe, and then drive off rapidly, hoping to draw enemy fire that will disclose the enemy positions.
Y traduzco la parte señalada:
Explorando terreno boscoso, una de las prácticas preferidas por los alemanes consiste en enviar al vehículo que lidera hacia el límite, detenerlo un rato para observar y salir entonces rápidamente con la esperanza de atraer fuego enemigo que revele las posiciones del mismo
¿Qué opinais? Con la posibilidad de establecer arcos d cobertura específicos para acorazados, creo que no hay motivo para tildar esta táctica de "gamey", aunque también es cierto que a las tropas más experimentadas (Crack o Elite) pueden caer en este tipo de enredos igual que un Green.
