Gun setup times

[kineas]

I believed the same, when recently two KOTH games against AirborneBob taught me that ATGs can be employed offensively.

In one scenario I had no mortars and heavy HE chuckers. He just towed a 76mm gun on an open hilltop. First I smiled, but then realized I simply couldn't even pin the gun with medium range Maxim fire. The gun stayed there the whole game, and made a decisive contribution to it.

In another scenario I spotted his 75mm ATG debarking in front of my two T-70s. I immediately area fired, but this didn't really disturb the crack crew, who dispatched the two tanks quickly.

Later I kept the crew pinned with a sniper (even killed one-two men), but when a T34 moved into LOS they started to fire immediately. Luckily a 76mm grenade KOed the gun.

Lesson: if you don't have heavy HE or mortars, these guns can stand and fight.
