re: #278 Targetpractice

Mechanized warfare took a long while to get up to speed. You could really say that it wasn’t until the midpoint of WWII that any one army got its shit together. Even the Wehrmacht in the early part of WWII, held up as the prime example of the benefits of mechanized warfare, was still mostly transporting supplies and even men to the front with animal-drawn carts.

And the Germans realized that the were never going to fully mechanize. They worked to at get some formations (panzer and panzergrenadier) mechanized, including their artillery in order to get the necessary mobility.
