Regarding the Light Mortars
|
Dont know I generaly use indirect as cant see the target, as said slow. But use direct to at short range (inacurate) still picking a hex surrounded by targets. Not that I use that often most sides dont have use the arty arm ones 80-120 all the time & much easier due to range, normaly 2 per Inf Co.
As Cross said outnumber them due to terrain or smoke, suppress then fire with safest units alternating firers preferably from stationary, now move forward with the rest.
Vs tanks, tricky you need to use the terrain so you are not spotted until close. Defending in woods or just behind a hill etc so the tank has to come in close for a shot. Or use your MTRs again to drop smoke behind the infantry so the tanks need to come through it if no TI. It all varies on the map which is the fun of this game adapt to the situation there is no one correct way of doing it.

is there any point in firing Korean war era anti-tank teams

You will have to answer the penetration thing yourself based on each weapon, hiting depends 3-4 hexes is best 6 or so possible then need to get lucky. Again look at the weapon a RCL with a range of 24 can push it a bit further.
Using like any weapon for best results stationary unit in good order consecutive shots at target 2nd or 3rd should hit with luck. If you move your unit to take the shot get close its rare for a tank to survive 2 or 3 attacks from adjacent by an RPG equiped unit beside it. Moving may be needed for a flank or rear shot, once hes in position if it turned use another unit to get his attention.
All this depends on troop quality morale if it varies drasticaly from the norm.
Vs some one like Argentina with morale in the 40s suppresion is easy anything will get them running the problem is keeping up. The likes of Israel with 80 morale is a whole diffrent ball game. Plus twin LMG Squads APCs briming with MGs & tanks that outclass anything you have once the Merkerva arrives on the scene means you are in for a fight, it is an ideal force for fighting in open terrain even the later tanks have multiple Smoke Disch to provide cover. Of coure if you happen to be Argentina or some other low morale side playing is challenging when that tank bursts through the woods he was supposed to assault he might panic & fluff it or even run away.
