Talk about feeling exposed.....

That's not bad, I was in mortar platoon for about two years...we had to set up in the complete open. If there was time we dug pits but still, out where there was no overhead or cover.

Is that a 37mm gun they have there?

[Bob Seijas]

Looks like they are counting on seeing the tank before it sees them.

[browningautorifle]

Or at least being able to act first.

[Bob Womack]

I wonder of they've got a spotter up the road?

spotter

There should be an OP or LP as early warning out there somewhere.

[CINDERS]

Just great if a Panther or Tiger tank poked its nose over the rise! especially if they did not have air cover to call up to deal with the heavy armour.

[browningautorifle]

a Panther or Tiger

Yes, I'd think these would be more suited to destroying lighter stuff...
