Re: Germans. Experience with using infantry guns?
Compared to 8 cm mortar, the main differences that 7.5 cm infantry gun provides is better range but lower lethality.
Thus for the close support of the infantry companies (ie. engaging targets in their vicinity) the mortars tend to be better. However, for countering enemy support assets (howitzers, mortars, AA-guns) located at the far end of the map, you will probably need the extra range of the infantry guns.
Then there are those 15 cm infantry guns - pure nastiness! However, historically there tended to be only two per infantry regiment.
