Arty destroys King Tigers - WWII

Draschel: Case in point, lets first disregard numerical superiotiy. SU122 and SU152, were capable in temporarily disabling, and/or hurting / maiming crew of even heavy armor like Panther, Tiger H, Ferdinand. But it was frequently found, the abandoned superficially damaged vehicles were recaptured and quite quickly put back into service. Leading Russians to 2 things placed into development / effect. The same actions, of using HE FRAG to disable the tanks, immediately followed by infantry demo teams to use direct charges to blow apart the idle, disabled tanks right after. And.......the kicker, developing HEAT ammunition for dedicated anti-armor performance for M-30S and ML-20 assault guns. Why do you think this would happen?  Watch the video again. The narrator talks about the Tigers apparent ease, in dealing with vehicles VERY SWIFLTY, AND HIGHLY LETHAL in direct fire. Because from the sights, to the ammo, to the barrel it was made to destroy a tank. From afar, and before it got destroyed. Right tool for the f------ job.
