Hull Down Positions

A hull-down position uses terrain to expose only a vehicle’s turret or weapon system while hiding its hull, minimizing the profile presented to the enemy and protecting vital components. Tanks and other vehicles with remote or turreted weapons can benefit from this posture.

After firing, the vehicle should retreat behind cover into a full “turret-down” position, reload, and then reappear at a different location to avoid enemy targeting. The farther the enemy, the easier it is to achieve hull-down using minor terrain features. Reusing the same firing position should be avoided to stay unpredictable.
