So why exactly did West Germany field these?
With the potential onslaught of massive amounts of Warsaw Pact armour, NATO, in particular West Germany needed to field as many weapons systems that could take out tanks as they could.
Seeing how successful infantry Anti-tank teams had done so well un the middle east, the West Germans took the Panzerjager they had with a 90mm gun, and replaced it with better Anti-tank weapons. Surprisingly in the upgraded West German book they actually supply the 90mm gun armed system, as a reservist option.
Once I get some time to field a game, these shall be on the board.
