I'm really surprised that the training manuals from that time didn't emphasize the need for grenade sumps or reinforcement in sandy conditions. I've read too many stories about Tiger tanks simply spinning in place burying troops in the defense.
I recall weapons BST where the idea was to dig, dive, hide and let the vehicle roll right over you, then pop up and shoot the Bass Turd in the ass while back blast from the 3.5 RL/LAAWs takes out the following infantry and hides your pos with smoke and dust in the air.
