RE: Japanese Infantry Guns
This is for Ed and Huib,
I know it may seem unlikely to both of you that the M12 SP gun was used in direct fire on tanks. But the fact is they positively were. Was it on a daily regular basis? .. Probably not. But when deemed necassary and the most effect way to counter the threat they were. Do this. Search the internet about the M12, And look for historical accounts and discriptions as to how they were employed and used in combat. And I'm certain you will find the answer to this question. Some detailed research on your part before making your comments would have likely made your comments not necassary. I did my research and do have accounts and descriptions of the M12 being used in direct fire not only against tanks, But halftracks and infantry as well. If your search doesen't bear anything out for you. I can allways pass on a few of my sources.
Have fun with your searches and have a Merry Christmas!!
Eric
