![]() ![]() ![]() In 1944-45 the 3.7 inch fired over 1 million rounds ( compared to 774,000 75mm tank rounds ) the majority of which were for ground bombardment. A hit on any vehicle from those guns would be very destructive. The 88 could destroy tanks, and then shoot HE airbursts to attack the Infantry. In his BIENNIAL REPORTS OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR, 1 JULY 1939-30 JUNE 1945, he specifically identifies the German 88 as the type of weapon the US army admired - and could have had if we had spent more on defense prior to December 1941. When in danger of being overrun by tanks, any gun becomes an AT gun. The role of 'Begleitbatterie' (accompanying battery) was specific in that regard. This is fundamentally different from the employment of the 88, which served as a triple-purpose gun for tactical purposes (AA, AT, field artillery, in that order). The post-CRUSADER METP 2.VI "Employment of artillery in support of armour", which would have included experience from Sidi Omar 25 Nov 41, is quite clear on this delineation. Unlike the 18-pdr, I am not aware of the 25-pdr equipping dedicated AT regiments or even being used tactically as an AT gun other than for self-defense. I think it's important to note however that this was for self-defense of the battery. "The Development of Artillery Tactics and Equipment" (1950) details 1st Field Regiment engaging Panzers while in support of 4th Indian Division on as just one example, there were others. The 25-pdr* was used in the anti-tank role in North Africa and was provided with armour piercing ammunition. ![]() |
