I bet the Finns were impressed with it, definetly atributed to the Boys? there home grown ATR lahiti or something like is good still need several though.
Boys not sure if I have killed anything but damage immobolise yes. Either assaulting with or within a couple of hexes otherwise its just a suppresor IMHO.
Finns Lahiti is a diffrent mater kills very rare with one hit but have killed 3 armour with it possibly 4 with consecutive damage. T-26s T-60s AC etc
Boyes - I have not killed much with these apart from class 1 armour little scout cars and Japanese tinfoil tankettes in the far east. The germans have little class 1 armour to kill bar the baby scout cars and sdkfz251s. Only the really early panzer 2 has any class 1 - the rest are reasonably OK with class 2 side.

However, they are annoying to fight against as German or Italian in the desert, since they respond in opfire to your tank fire and button your tanks up when dealing with UK infantry. This can be annoying if you get enough suppression to lose the target lock and have to use up rally. They will occasionally do a track hit as well.

My dad used one post war in his national service on minesweepers clearing the northern barrage. it was used to sink free floating mines, and did that job well. They laid out a bed of sandbags on the deck for the firer as that helped with the recoil.
