Yes you do. Not always, I agree with that. If the enemy hasn't spotted you yet it may indeed be better not to. But when he has or you can assume he is about to, you should let loose with all you have.

Infantry was (and possibly still is) trained to fire away with all available weapons when engaging armor. Unless they are operating under the same conditions I mentioned above, ie not yet spotted or not about to be and want to 'sneak attack' the tank.
Not all shoot outs between infantry and armor are 'sneak attacks' by unspotted infantry.

Also remember that game covers the whole period from 1946 to 2020 so tactics of the earlier years should also be incorporated in the game.
