Is my uncoded weapons file messed up or does this little guy really have an anti-armor value of 22 at one hex? My old hard copy of the EFII manual shows a value of 6.

You are looking at the "neuer art" version of the Pak 35/36.

From the unit text:

"When the German Wehrmacht met the T34's and KV-1's on the Russian battlefields it quickly became apparent that the 37mm Anti-Tank guns was no longer capable in it's intended role. So work was made to improve the performance of the existing guns. Using Monroe's shaped charge principle, the engineers came up with a specially designed ammunition; the Stielgranate 41 and 43. Using the hollow charge pinciple, this new shell was stuck on the end of the barrel and ignited using a regular shell. It's range and accuracy was however not sufficient! These stielgranate could only be used as a last ditch defense. Another factor that precluded it's use was the amount of smoke that accompanied every shot. After the first shot was fired, the gun no longer had the advantage of cover. The 'improved' guns were added the suffix of 'neuer art'."

One made a very brief appearance in the Band of Brothers episode, "Carentan."
