Ant Tank Guns Underrated in CMBB?

[herroberst]

The biggest shortfall to guns in CM is they are usually discovered far quicker than historical accounts suggest. I think it was Wittman that said he feared ATGs more than anything else because they were hard to see and acquire.

Nonetheless, I always go into battle with preferably three ATGs and I like the 57mm's which can pretty much take out anything. I sometimes will set up a PakFront of multiple guns which works well in that you can destroy all the armor showing before it can take apart the guns.

Of course a good opponent will always have mortars or artillery to take care of guns that are revealed.

Still, a good ambush weapon in my opinion and you can try to smoke the position, pull the gun back, limber it up and move it. I have successfully used that tactic before with light guns.
