How to use AT guns on the offense?

[Liebchen]

Are you envisioning pushing ATGs a kilometer by hand, then?

Since when has every kilometre been a flat bowling green? How about them being driven to dead ground and then man handled into position? Or what about being manhandled into position at night?

If needed I'm sure troops would have pushed them a kilometre - at the moment the drivers must be parking their trucks within a hundred yards and full view of the enemy.

You actually make my point stronger, as I read it. Because the terrain is not "bowling green" flat, and because it might require manhandling the guns, it would appear to be that these guns cannot move out of "T" mode.

The comparison between ATGs and mortars is not, AFAIK, a valid one. Mortars break down for portability. This I know. Does anyone have any data that suggests that ATGs were capable of being broken down?

Even if they had wheels, they still weighed a heckuva lot, and I imagine that they were awkward, to boot.

Just MHO, of course, for all $0.04 that it's worth. :)
