Defeating the M3 Grant in 1942

[Copper]

In the much acclaimed Tiger Valley scenario "my" Tigers had lot of front turret hits on the M3 ricocheted harmelesly away. Distance was les then 1.000 meters. Although the M3's couldn't scratch the Tigers I was impressed, or should I say baffled !

Another thing about the M3: it takes a lot of 50mm hits to knock one out ! They're tough ! In the Frühlingswind scenario (the demo) I had a hard time of killing them with my Panzers III !

Like I said, the trick is to get into hull down with panzer III's (cannot be immobilized) and then pepper the Grant's (until they are immobilized). Then swing round and give them a fanny bop.

I am facing these right now, and after 2 turns of constant firing from 12 panzer III's in hull down, I've immobilized 2 of 5 grants for no loss to my own in immob's, gun damage or kills.


Cheers!
