Tanks are used as armoured guns (especially on flat ground). The tanks open fire from 1500 meters.<br />Countermeasures: it is pointless to open fire from light and medium AT guns, the StuG, the PzIII, or the PzIV (with the 75 L/43 gun). At this distance, tanks can only be destroyed by the 88 mm AA gun, artillery guns, heavy AT guns (AT gun model 1941 and 7.62 cm caliber guns, from a distance of no more than 1300 meters).</i><br /><br />Which is to say, at 1500m, there is no point in using the L/43 gun, which is reasonable. At that distance, the tabular penetration of the gun is 72mm (@30 degrees), which if you count everything in like an adverse slope, might translate to it not being able to penetrate at all in practice.arkhangelskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247250672432027166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-26771964556887737002015-07-18T07:49:26.534-04:002015-07-18T07:49:26.534-04:00I think there is a translation/typo problem: &quo...I think there is a translation/typo problem: "it is pointless to open fire from light and medium AT guns, the StuG, the PzIII, or the PzIV (with the 75 L/43 gun)." If this document is indeed from 1941, then its not 75 L/43, but 75 L/24! Pz.

The document was produced 9/41 and captured 1/43. The weapons in use had completely changed so its value is small.
