Complaints Wehrmacht in mass were associated with. In reality, the armor of the T-34 penetrated "beater" in the weakened zone even in the forehead. Apparently has played a psychological contrast with absolute lack of protection BT and T-26 and self-glorification.<br />Thanks for the interesting blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-47937274687680726992016-11-17T12:12:24.216+01:002016-11-17T12:12:24.216+01:00Defending against formation is either very labour ...Defending against formation is either very labour or resource intensive. Manually laid minefields obviously take time and scatmines are scarce schwerpunkt weapons. Attacking armoured column is best stopped every so often with ambushes targeting individual tanks or at best platoons. Ambushes should be also aimed against clearence tanks so minefields ahead will stay effective. <br /><br />Large elaborate platoon-company sized ambushes take time to train and set up. They are also very effective because of concentration of forces and achieving good enough ratio. Platoons ambushing kilometer apart with artillery strikes in between with Bonus/Smart will decimate a company or two with little losses if executed properly. <br />TehFinnnoreply@blogger.com
