Default Re: Germans. Experience with using infantry guns?

If you are planning to bring in a few recoilless rifles with a glider, then you might want to consider bringing in also an ammo canister or two, so they can reload at some point. As I mentioned before, those things come with relatively limited amounts of ammo (20 HE and 10 HEAT for the FJg version).

Notice that since they come with HEAT ammo, they are much more effective anti-tank weapons at long range in early war than most of the things in the German arsenal (barring good old 88 mm). Downside being that they are not particularly accurate at long ranges (and the previously mentioned ammo limit).

In later war, they are not quite that impressive, since the Germans get plenty of other HEAT weapons, and the recoilless rifle starts having more trouble penetrating heavier tanks that start popping up - though it should still stand a chance against medium tanks.
