Infantry Against Tanks 1941

[Bear]

Molotov Cocktails are not worthless.

They will knock out armor and/or cause the armor crew to do a morale check and possibly retreat or abandon the vehicle.

The quality/experience of men using the molotovs and that of the targeted armor/crew are factors that determine the result of a Hit. Also, the leadership factors when in command and control range.
Many times I've seen an axis tank reverse from a molotov hit or miss and back into another infantry unit's molotov attack that ends that dance.

i.e. A Soviet Guards (Veteran, Crack, Elite) Platoon loaded with Molotovs, is an axis tanker nightmare, especially in close quarters street fight. Let's not forget the Soviet Anti Tank teams.
