AT guns had ONE job.....
Oui Mon Ami, alas, that would be incorrect . . .

One armored piercing round fired every 8 seconds in a minute of elapsed time with an experienced, human loader in a cramped, stationary, M48A5 in 1985 = 7.5 rounds a minute - ON TARGET - in a turreted tank at multiple threat AFV targets. In an old M60A1, the record is 8 rounds per minute, also all of which were hits. No cringing under return fire, or OBA to distract the tank crew in that short time span.

That's got to be better than any towed, WWII AT gun could manage at multiple targets with a 90 degree frontal arc of fire, without overhead cover.
