Let’s be honest…
Nobody needs 200mm penetration at BR III with Panzerfaust 60
You potentially meet BR 1 tanks, at BR II tanks have like 35-50mm armour and at BR 3 tanks have less than 100mm armour. Heck… Panzerfaust 60 at BR III claps BR V tanks from the front
Give the poor tanks a fighting chance
M9 bazooka at BR III has 125mm penetration which is less than Panzerfaust 60 but it has far better velocity and range. Much easier to aim and hit with where you want. There’s not a single BR III tank that has enough armour to stop it from the front and it’s super low risk for the infantry using it to score kills from a distance meaning tanks have no fighting back chance. There’s only few BR IV tanks with enough armour to prevent it from penetrating their front.
180mm with perfect angle which you will almost never get unless you shoot almost point blank.
BR3 also meets BR4 which has tanks with stronger armor. cats have ~100mm armor, jumbo has ~180mm turret+100mm sloped hull, shermans have ~90mm effective armor frontally for both hull and turret. etc.
their best AT weapon on BR2 has 90mm penetration at perfect angle, so they need AT weapon that can reliably penetrate BR3 tanks(so over 90mm) and have a chance at penetrating most BR4 tanks. idk of any other AT rocket launcher for germany that would be in the middle of grb-39 and panzerfaust 60. well maybe panzerfause 30, but it had ~30m range so it is kinda pointless for the game.
Tbh honest with you…
Type 4 rocket launcher, Type 5 rocket launcher, M1 Bazooka are sufficient to make Shermans cry.
You don’t need a Panzerfaust 60 at same BR as M4A1 cast armour Sherman…
Launchers should have longer reload time, normally two people were required to use one. Im tired of bazooka snipers destroying tanks before anyone can even react
germans only alternative is panzerfaust 30. it is not like it will change anything in the game for its BR, except that it may not kill jumbo through turret on perfect angle. i am also not certain how effective range is actually modeled in this game so
you are forgetting that panzerfaust lobs past certain distance and will hit surface with decreased angle. sloped armor doesnt work against it as well as against ofenrohr.
Well except that the Sherman with the RHA armor is also at the same BR anyway… M4A3 105 and M4A2 have really strong armor at their BR, same goes for KV-1.
Also Man portable AT weapons are made to deal with tanks in an uptier as well.
IMO AT weapons themselves are OK as they are, but explosive packs need to be nerfed, they should only disable tanks by blowing up tracks and destroying the turret + MG.
well i disagree. AT soldiers should be able to kill tank on same BR frontally with their weapon.
btw shall we draw parallel for m1/m9 bazooka and PIAT on BR2 and BR3? they are also overkill for all tanks on their BR cause no german tank has 80mm, nor 127mm armor on BR2 and BR3.
