They wouldn’t be equipped in the grenade slot, they would be AT weapons for AT soldiers to use so you would need to choose between a regular AT weapon or AT grenades, a bundle of 3-5 would be enough
Redundant you say ? Nobody uses AT soldiers? Not my prob, can be said about most recent additions for the game, it’s about more content rather than meta additions
For the lack of effectiveness it would be appropriate for them being start of level unlocks but we all know DF policy with campaign levels
It’s either this or the recipe for disaster that would be impact AT grenades in the grenade slot for every soldier.
This is one of the bigger design flaws. They created specialist squads but then enabled specialist members in every squad such that you don’ t really need the specialist squad.
The perks and abilities of the specialist squads have been relegated as nice to have, rather than essential, and the only squad you really need to succeed in the game is an Assault squad with an Engineer, MG and either AT or RO depending on your preference… All other combinations are rendered irrelevant - this is a core game design flaw…
I’ve killed quite a few British vehicles Tanks and the Daimler with them in Tunisia, haven’t really use the boys very much though.
It’s even easier to kill the odd crew member.
You just have to realise that IRL they were basically useless even at the very beginning of the war unless you were in a really good position relative to the armour on the tank.
Unfortunately the AT Rifle takes a lot more precision and skill to use effectively. I was a bit put off of them at first but after someone helped me with it, I become a monster with them.
Sure its not a OHK like other weapons, but its crazy how deadly they are.
In Stalingrad especially, I can drop a PZ4 or StuG with the PTRS no problem.
Yeah you have to hit the target a few times to kill them but it’s pretty easy to, and fun, and you don’t really need to be that close to them to be able to do it either, at least not with the Daimler and the A13, Of course they have paperthin armour which helps
Mine slot would be the only place that makes sense. Not the primary AT weapon slot. There would be zero incentive to use this over something with actual range that is far more efficient and effective.
This type of weapon is a weapon of last resort, which means it shouldn’t occupy such an important slot.
Well they were effective, but that’s because that they were used enmass, with upwards of 3 to 5 at rifles engaging the same target, targeting view ports, and tracks then move onto the next one
Ontop of that at rifles were harder to spot then a at gun
that entire side, is pretaining to the at rifle being used to destroy tanks, some think that they were never intended to do, they were designed to help destory the tank by disabling it
its misconceptions and mistranslation
the germans did not enjoy the AT rifles while the ussr, french and pols did
