OMG Were you right about Direct Control.
Its a WORLD of difference!
I assumed direct control of a tank and of course I now have the advantage of being able to maneuver intelligently and use obstacles for cover but what surprised me that I could now fire at about the same ranges the enemy fires at me. Why does the AI for my tanks just sit idle taking shots while not firing when it can, as I can when in direct control? I mean, why isnt it the same AI as the enemy who seems to be much more capable? Is the player's units AI made handicapped on purpose?
Also I am able to clear out enemy AT positions pretty easily now as well when in direct control - something which was virtually impossible when under AI control since when I ask a tank to attack an AT position they seem to think they need to drive up within stone throw's distance to it.
