j. Movement:

l. Fuses: (Type & Characteristics)
Impact, hand fused.
Delay fuse fixed time factor. Delay factor not adjustable; delay 2 - 3 seconds.

m. Tactics Used Against UN Tanks:
PW was taught to fire his Arty piece directly against the tank operator’s slotted peep hole. Reason given is that, it’s the weakest spot and if the driver is put out of commission, maneuverability would be nil, and crew killed off in time.
Firing from the side, the spot aimed for is the front sprocket. Reason given, unarmored and if damaged, maneuverability nil.
Reason for not firing directly at the gun turret is that it’s too heavily armored and he has seen shells from his unit bounce off the armored turret and sides. (PW was referring to his unit’s 75mm field pieces).

For the Commanding Officer:

ROBINSON
