Spotting Anti-Tank Rifles

[kineas]

Also, beware of trying to deal with numerous ATRs in good cover by using infantry to find them and suppress them for you. They will suck away your squad ammo in no time flat, and frequently rally right through the fire. Even if you do KO one or two, the cost to the Russians is tiny, and your squad ammo will not rally.

I had similar experience in a pbem game, so I made some test. A full rifle '41 squad vs a lone ATR team in woods. You should get into close combat range (<10m) as soon as possible, otherwise they just drain ammo.

On average 12 shots was required to kill the ATR team, and in one case it required 30.
