There is also an account of it's use at Kamenewo in Oct '41 to turn back a determined assault by new soviet types.Tank Vs Tank [i]Kenneth Macksey[/i] 1988 [i]Totem Books[/i] wrote:...the fighting men in the field had to improvise their anti-tank measures by, for example, deploying 88mm dual purpose guns with advanced guards. In addition the powerful medium weapon known as a 100mm gun (it was actually 105mm and called 10cm gun) which was normally placed only in indirect fire support of formations,was integrated with leading units to enhance their chances against enemy KV types. For even that mighty AFV's 110mm armour could not withstand a 31lb shot fire at less than 1000m when it struck at 835m/sec.
Did this gun fade away when newer PAK types came into service or was it's use as an AT wpn just a temporary stop-gap measure against well slope, thick Red Armour? What replaced it?
