Merry Christmas!

Well let's keep the statistics and comparisons to WWII..... M48s are not WWII....neither are M60s....

I'm hard pressed to believe a t34 gunner,
or a M4A1 turret, could keep up with a 75mmAT on the ground serviced by a crew...
in delivering number of shells on target at pretty much any range.....

"The Tank does no fear the ATgun....the Tank fears the hidden ATgun"...said someone once

True enough, Mon Ami!

But, here's some food for thought . . .  Consider what my Korean War amigos say who were in M4E8 (Easy Eight) Shermans of the 7th Infantry Division. They tell of rates of tank fire that were around 6 rounds per minute, with a 120 degree arc of fire - regardless of turret aspect & orientation in stationary positions - and a roughly 75% first hit rate against stationary enemy AFVs and towed AT guns, or emplaced, recoiless rifles. They also recalled that Soviet-built AT guns & their motor transport - in both Chinese and North Korean hands - had comparatively high casualty rates that probably contributed to a lack of veteran, experienced gun crews, and hence, relatively inaccurate AT shooting. Manhandling a long and cumbersome AT gun with only limited traverse as BlackCloud6 has mentioned elsewhere, is typically not an easy thing to do quickly, especially when under hostile fire. Then again, as you indicate: in PG terms, a hidden AT gun position is often a deadly proposition for a hapless tank crew.
