I think all PD weapons has to see the rounds for at least 50cm (500m?) to
be able to counter them. This is stated explicitely for countering direct
fire rounds, but it should be true for all rounds. I think they didn't mention
this when talking about artillery PD because most artillery will easily
be seen for much more than 500m before impact.
So the infantry could use recoilless rifles with nuclear rounds to take out
almost any target no matter how hard it is.
