If the tank is already right next to it, where its main cannon will hit consistently and its machine guns are most effective, it may as well move a few more meters and park behind the AT gun.

I don't always agree with Katitof, but when I do, it's because he's right. AT guns do very well vs tanks, but if it comes down to a straight up duke fest, the tank should win.
It really depends on the tank. A Stug or T34 should not be able to solo an AT gun assuming no maneuvering, but a Tiger or IS2 should. AT guns are hard to keep alive in the face of any unit solo, they are slow, they take positioning, and they are a specialist unit. Well, the Zis gets the fantastic barrage ability too, but otherwise it's AT only. It's fine for them to excel in this role for their cost, since they are so easily countered in general.

We will look into this issue Neo. Thanks for bringing it up.
Thanks Peter. From what I can tell, tanks do a lot of damage to infantry in this patch and this seems to be causing them to kill 2-3 AT gun crew members per shot sometimes. Perhaps AT guns need a little more resistance to tank weapons and mgs given that they have that small metal guard to protect them?
@ Katitof: I hope that popcorn is still as sweet as it was...
@ Burts: the knowledge that you're upset is reward enough for all my efforts

I'm not upset, i'm just worried. Because AT guns are insanely good this patch.

Medium and heavy vehicle potency has been increased with this update, these changes help offset this increased potency by improving the performance and reliability of AT guns.

I think is a bit too easy to ignore AT guns in CoH2 although I had a game yesterday in which I managed to kill a Tiger with ZiS gun after he got lured onto mines planted before. ZiS was Vet1 though and I had T-34/76 flanking from behind.
