Hello Cougar
most of my descriptions of combats are from Delaforce's The Fighting Wessex Wyverns. He usually has not identified the panzer units, I have tried identify them from other secondary sources.
I'm more interested in what has happened in real world than what someone things might have been happened. And besides in the first post it was asked for real world stories.
Probably not many of us has be trained or made deep study on WWII tank or A/T tactics. But at least I had training with rather similar equipment and had been under attack of WWII era tanks, albeit with turrets from early 50s, and only in military exercises. I also have had rides on those tanks in cross-country, more or less in full speed and have been inside them but as said their optics were from early 50s. But our tactical training mostly trained us to fight against tanks of 60s. And I was a lowly conscript NCO, so I'd not call myself an expert, even if Finnish combat engineers were trained more in line of German pioneers, we were pioneerejä, so more combat and less engineering than in Anglo-American armies.
My own thinking is, blind them, immobilize them and then destroy them. But that would not be easy and would cost blood, maybe much blood.
Stealth, surprise, deceiv are keys.
