They still didn't feel very confident in the gun's ability to engage these tanks from the front, though.

Yes, in war anything can and does happen, but you have to recognize what is and isn't a high probably kill. Stewart Millenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261690405884935161noreply@blogger.com
