Pak 36

Background
The PaK 36 is a German anti-tank gun in Post Scriptum. Developed by Rheinmetall in 1933 and issued in 1936, it saw heavy use in the early to mid stages of the war. During the Spanish Civil War, it was used to engage the lightly armored tanks of the period and had performed well. However, as the war progressed and more heavily armored vehicles started being used, the 37mm round became obsolete. Succeeded by the Pak 38, its use declined and by 1940 the latter phased it out.

Strategy
As with most anti-tank guns, the PaK 36 performs excellent in ambush positions. Lightly armored targets such as trucks, cars and infantry are prime target for the underpowered but quick firing 37mm cannon. Confrontations with tanks however should be avoided, as its penetration is inadequate to pierce their front and sometimes even rear and side armor.
