Soapbox and Pot Stir.....Bunkers and Pill Boxes

[Mike Abberton]

One thing I always found unusual/unrealistic is that bunkers are soft targets and PBs are hard targets. In certain cases that makes the PB an easier target than a bunker, when it seems like it should be the opposite.

The reason for this is that, particularly in the late war game, you have more units with high hard target attack factors (e.g. anything with a German 88mm or 75mm/70, anything with a 17 pdr or a 90mm for the western allies, Russians a little less so with only the less useful 85mm being common) than units with high soft attack factors (150mm guns and up). And many of the high soft attack factor units are on the fragile side if there is an AT gun in the bunker.
