But using arty guns for direct fire is nearly impossible to really hit because of the ultra-bullet-drop :/ Cant even really hit stuff 20 meters away, not to speak about lets say near fog distance ..
They just would get destroyed very quickly ..
Alam Halfa is a good example of direct fire with 25 pounder and I must say, if the tankers are quite busy with all the 2 pounder/Stuart/whatever... it's doable, I recently managed to kill 3 or 4 tanks one after one. Once you manage to use the blocking shield to your advantage, you can become very deadly. You are as vulnerable as all AT guns but it's one shot-kill and there are two of these babies ! However I agree, otherwise the AP shells are useless, HE should definitely be the default ones.
