    Default Re: Anti-tank solution

    20mm was enough for most of the British tanks.

    The Faust was pretty innovative. Cheap, quick to produce, and effective. Fire and forget it. A normal infantryman could carry several along with his regular weapon, whereas a Panzershreck (German bazooka) required at least two devoted operators.



    I would also argue that the entire Jagdpanther program was a pretty innovative AT solution. The tank hunters were highly effective, cheaper and faster to produce, and far more heavily armoured.

    I recently found this original series about the Panther on youtube. Its got some great battlefield footage and deals with AT issues.
