Here's a quick and dirty demonstration of "why NGWS"
Two of them can and will beat any vehicle in a forest fight. Urban combat, I don't know, that's harder to test in a controlled setting. But they have the ammo and the firepower to kill them. And yes, the 170pts worth of infantry nearly lost a squad to the 290pts of anti-infantry heavy armour. I don't think NGWS are particularly outstanding squads when things like Ranger MAAWs exist--but they can still do the job.
AT4s can't do this. They literally just can't. They run out of ammo even 2v1, even hitting side/rear armour.
>but the Barbaris let you hit rear armour
1 squad hitting front and 1 hitting rear is roughly the same as both hitting side armour. It's one or the other. This is why pairs are so effective.
>but the Barbaris didn't reverse to escape
It can't. Infantry walk forward faster than the Barbaris can reverse in forests. There's no facing that would have protected its sides/rear from both squads.
>it didn't smoke
Since it can't outrun us, the smoke would have only benefited the infantry squads, who have been able to reload their launchers without taking fire while los was broken.
Any pair of squads with 600+ pen launchers can replicate this, though RU squads with their high-pen disposables obvious do it better
