Gas mask when using RPzB 43 Ofenrohr

It is an early version of the PzSchreck that lacks the protective shield, that was needed because of the backblast of the rocket. Because of that, soldiers were trained to use the chemical suit with a gas mask to protect themselves.

So my suggestion is to add a simple animation of soldier putting on a gas mask when switching to the RPzB 43. Sth like in BF1 would be good enough I guess.

It may serve a ballancing purpose when the PzSchreck with it’s shield will be introduced.

  • Ofenrohr - no shield that obstructs the view
    (of course the gas mask also obstructs the view to some degree but imo it’s still better than a big shield)
  • PzSchreck - quicker to equipp

Of course ideally the shield should be an attachement to the Ofenrohr that “converts it into the PzSchreck” but we all know it will never happen.

They’re all probably Moscow, Stalingrad, and Berlin allies mains

I don’t see a connection between being a Moscow, Stalingrad, and Berlin allies mains and wanting a good looking german soldier in Normandy.

Depend from topic.
Sometime yes, a lot of likes.

I’ll just leave this handsome flamethrower man here. The asset for gas masks is created, they just need to use it in proper place.

Again, don’t forget STG44 sniper, or what would you use to counter Thompson with 50 and 100 drum? Or AN/M2 with 200 drum? Or recoilless Johnson LMG(as you can test in the mod)?
