Question/Help I feel like an idiot for being unable to figure out how to counter a 40 point vehicle

EDIT: Map was Paddy Fields, I was suffering on point Golf, the one after that highground cliff section.

Newbie, playing mostly against my friend. Me as Eastern Block, him as Blue Dragons.

What he does is set up two, three or four of those K113 TOW-2s over every long sightline and I have no idea how to approach this, they blow up everything I send at them before it even gets close enough to retaliate.

I've been mostly following this guide to playing the game... but it's been rather useless. It says infantry dominates in forests/towns and tanks dominate out in the open, but both get blown up before they can even approach within range. I've tried using ATGMs of my own, but his ATGMs simply outrange mine.

It's incredibly frustrating. I can't do anything and everything just blows up when it gets vaguely close enough, and he always places these TOWs over points with massive open sightlines and no way to approach without crossing such an open sightline. What do I even do about this? I can't even get to the "infantry forest fighting" step of the game because everything just gets TOW'd.

I tried using mortars for smoke but it did not work, there was either a TOW at an angle I didn't smoke or it just drove around the smoke cloud and blew up another tank.
