You know your army is in trouble when...

Strangely, it's not flagged as a Demolition unit (normally such a unit would have "Demolition" in the lower right of the unit information screen, between Speed and Tracked) . As its quality is F, it's not very suitable as an offensive assault weapon (all units involved would be assaulting at F quality) but it's a potent defensive tool if combined with a high quality unit or stack due to using the highest friendly quality rating in the hex when defending during an assault.

A-B quality 30 assault value units would be...painful to remove for the attacker.

Interesting that its more useful as a defensive weapon rather than an offensive weapon? But of course that's talking about it in terms of Pz campaigns.

History does say it was a bit of a dud. The Germans hoped that it would be a wonder weapon so trying to make use of its hard attack factors by attacking may mimic what historically happened. The attack will fail due to its low quality factor. 

A bit strange that it might be more successful defending against attacks?
