For MudMovers: What kind of tanks cannot be destroyed with Mk103?

You could always sneak behind enemy lines, bayonet between teeth, and capture an IL2m or a yak3 ut.

Seriously though, aren't you forgetting about the cannon armed Stuka? Granted the thing is a bloody deathtrap and nearly impossible to hit anything with, but it served Rudel well.

BTW, I was online the other day flying a Yak ut and boy is that thing a monster! I was able to easily take out 4 or 5 tanks per mission, and would probably have done better had I not kept getting greedy and lawn darting.

Historically the Fw 190 fighter-bombers were sent against the soft-skinned soviet supply vehicles or their artillery positions and only very rarely used directly over the battlefield. This changed with the introduction of the Panzerblitz anti-tank rocket but that was quite late in the war.

Please tell me you guys have a plan to make it in game...

Wfr.Gr.21s (once you chew some time on aiming) are nice but I feel those panzerblitzs would be real salt on a wound for tanks.

UP3 has them.

Best german AT weapon, the AB500.

Not easy to deploy although, if too high it spreads too much, too low, it will not open and explode harmlessly on the ground. You could take the four tanks of a formation with one single drop, even KV's.

AB250 works too, but it covers a lesser area.

AB1000 is useless in game, as it is incendiary, and does really very low damage.

Originally, the AB's started to be useful, with a correction in UP. I haven't tried them in 4.11 yet. They are not as destructive as PTAB's, but not as useless as they were in the original version.

Second best, the StukaG. On the modded version, I just opted to modify the historically correct thickness of the KV1 of 40mm, to 35mm to maintain the rest of the game balance.

MK103 is very good against softer tanks, but a T34 is somewhat exaggeratedly tough against this canon. Basically as posted before, because of the simplified damage model of tanks.

I destroyed two of those with Mk103 gondollas in FW in one sortie.
But surely they aren't softies, I attacked them from rear (they were in column).

Yes, you can destroy them from the rear, but actually in RL, they penetrated even the turret sides, although, the pilots don't realize it, so they tended to favor the bombs against this canon, but infantry reports stated that they were quite deadly on T34's turret, in the battle of Kharkov 1942.
