US Tank accuracy in WWII


Recommended Posts

R. Atkinson, on p. 251 of his tome "Crusade", claims that, on average, a stationary American tank in WW2 had to fire around 17 rounds of ammo to hit another tank at 700m. Does anyone know if this claim is accurate? Its hard to imagine that it took 17 rounds on average to hit another tank. Did german tankers fare much better (or British, or Polish) than the Yanks or did this merely reflect the technology of the time??

Take care,

Jerry
