fire value for mortars

[javier]

I was not referring to the assault, but to the direct fire of the infantry units. In Normandy the hard attack of infantry units is high.

But to fire an infantry weapon at a tank you had to be very close. And that's difficult if those tanks have infantry protection.

On YouTube I saw a video of some German paratroopers in the Carentan area hunting a Sherman with a Panzerschreck.

Shermans advance alone without protection on a road between hedges, and are easily hunted by fallschirmjäger.

That would have been more difficult, or impossible, if the Shermans advanced accompanied by supporting infantry.

This is what I meant, not the assaults, I did not explain myself well.
