The 155th battery held out from dusk to dawn fighting tanks at 50m range and shot down two Messerschmidts with bren-guns, all while resupplying from a burning ammunition dump.
But sure, sitting in a armored box that can reverse faster than a man can sprint is more heroic.

I imagine calling in an artillery strike would make you feel very powerful. Like a God doing a spot of smiting.
