Status: offline 		Uh...after I learned (the hard way) that a soviet squad with mg could shake my unbuttoned PzIV...I've been buttoning up. Playing as the russian, I did shake a german AI tank with that soviet antitank rifle once...but nothing unusual and seemed possible to me. I am not an expert on infantry weapons vs tanks though, so just giving my experience so far.

**EDIT to fix omission of "buttoned up"

Are you sure? I'd swear I've seen them shaken by rifle fire.

Only if it's is not buttoned up.

Correct, I left out the buttoned up part. Edited my post for clarity.

BTW, you can increase your tank's chance to rally by moving into covering terrain.
