The 57mm gun was to provide Allied infantry with a much-needed anti-tank weapon. Past implementations of AT guns had actually forced the heavily mechanized German army to rethink its breaching tactics. But the 57mm gun proved to be ineffective against Panther and Tiger tanks. The armor piercing rounds merely bounced off their frontal armor.
While not the tank busters they were hoped to be, the 57mm gun can still deal a devastating blow to light and medium tanks. Also used in close quarters, this gun proves to be a very capable weapon. What it lacks in penetrating power it makes up for with volume of fire, pounding out a 3-to-1 advantage over most tanks. Be sure to keep these guns well concealed. Once tanks or probing infantry teams spot your AT guns they become very susceptible to enemy fire. Keep in mind that this is the one Allied AT gun that can be placed in a building. Also, deploying a command crew near by will increase the effectiveness of this unit.
