WW2 Artillery vs. Armor

[Elxaime]

I agree it is hard to debate what the values should be when we really don't know why the designers chose to make the stock artillery hard attack values as they are.

And I admit I haven't tried the McNamara DB ALT scenarios yet, so I cannot judge fairly. I encourage people to try them and I will do so as well. VM does incredible work with his alternatives and he may be completely right here.

My initial reaction was based on the fact that, in stock scenarios, with a few exceptions, AT guns are a joke. People knew this and kept them behind the lines digging trenches. This has changed a little with the new AT gun rules. But you still commonly see tanks operating without any infantry support, charging up wooded hillsides, into city streets, etc. against enemy infantry and without any adverse consequences.

So, if the McNamara changes alter that, it could make the difference.
