The primary problem with the Davy Crockett was that the blast radius of its nuke was farther than the rocket’s max range. Thus is was almost a suicide weapon for its crew.

Totally suicidal, but made to stop the Soviets, in the Fulda Gap.

Fire it from a hill, with your crew scooting over to the other side of the hill before it exploded, and you would be ok. Or at least more ok than having a Soviet tank brigade roll over you, which would also be unhealthy.
