RE: Antitank gun units
Have to agree with HirooOnoda, the long range lethality of the Tiger I and PzV Panther was devastating and could penetrate T34 armor up to 2 km with the PzV high-pressure 75mm gun being more lethal than the infamous 88 of the Tiger I. German infantry in face of vast numbers of russian armor became masters of knocking out tanks and learned to use the Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck very well, among other AT weapons the wehrmacht used. The germans also fully understood and used decentralized leadership philosophy, resulting in a much higher lethality and combat efficiency in mobile (fluid) combat situations. Perhaps the QFM rule was designed to help with this somewhat evened out and ahistorical design of PzC? (In the sense that this factor is not modeled I mean)

In open terrain, german armor should dominate, like soviet armor should dominate in rough and forested terrain where they could take advantage of the shorter combat distances and the great mobility of the T34 chassis.

Considering the dedication and historical knowledge of this community, you all knew this already eh?

Back to the topic of AT guns. A 1 hex mobility range in deployed mode would do wonders to survivability as would the ability to be 'hidden' until firing. If not firing during one round they should regain 'hidden' status. It should at least be possible to hit AT guns with return fire before they hide again.
