This I couldn't square with WWII accounts of the 2pdr being obsolete due to lack of punch and range.
Bear in mind the fact the gun is obsolete doesn't mean it's totally worthless - of course 2pdr against Tiger is a Bad Idea(tm), but even late in the WW2 you can prepare pretty nasty ambushes or shoot-and-scoot plinking on rear/flank of most medium tanks. Not to mention suc small gun is invaluable when you're low on points or to take out APC's and similar stuff when your heavy hitters have only relatively limited ammo supply.
