Does it work better with some tanks than others?

Yup, it works better with Allied tanks than Axis tanks specifically. T-34's and Shermans will almost always do it compared to a Panzer IV which is seemingly incapable.

Try using blitz. KilrathiSoldier and I always used to have one player spam anti-inf strafe from the Close Air Support commander while the other player crushed the helpless pinned infantry with a P4. Juicy results!

I try to do that often, easy enough when they are pinned. But it's frustrating as hell when your upright infantry who aren't pinned are getting crushed by T-34's charging them head on.

Here's a great video Tommy made. It's specifically for COH1, but applies for COH2 also. It's kind of an exploit of the infantry AI, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it!

in coh 2 i do it by turning off fire at will (if it is available), move towards the target squad at full speed. as soon as the infantry dodge the tank, make a gentle turn to run them over while not slowing down too much. the whole key to it is just speed, and getting good at getting your tanks to turn without it going into a doughnut. As soon as the tank start doing a dougnut you'll the needed speed to crush.

the only tanks i find that crushing to be relatively easy with is the jackson and the su-76. other tanks are just too slow to do it easily/reliably, and you'll typically do more damage by just sitting still and firing.
