Currently both the Germans and Soviets have the Panzerfaust 60 at BR 3, meaning it can appear in both early and late game. The Panzerfaust 60 was produced in 1944. The Soviets didn’t capture large quantities of Panzerfausts until 44-45. Personally it kind of tarnishes the atmosphere to have time traveling Panzerfausts
First, I would suggest removing the Panzerfaust 60 from the Soviets at BR 3. In its place you can give the Soviets lend lease bazookas. The Soviets already have a few lend lease items anyway which I’m fine with.
Second, for the Germans move the Panzerfaust 60 to BR 4.
Third, add the Faustpatrone and Panzerfaust 30 to the Germans at maybe let’s say BR 3. While these may also technically be time traveling into early war battles, the Faustpatrone’s prototype was tested in 1942 and they both saw service together in 1943, at least making it much closer to the early war battles than the Panzerfaust 60.
This is more of a pipe dream……
Fourth, I have always been partial to the Soviets having Panzerfausts. On one hand yes they captured many in the final phase of the war. On the other I prefer every faction being entirely unique, otherwise we might as well give Germans captured Garands and American’s Stgs.
Theoretically instead you can replace the Soviet Panzerfausts with some prototypes. The PTG-44 that was basically their equivalent to a Granatbusche and can be added as BR 4. The LPG-44 was the grandfather of the RPG and can be added as BR 5.
Also they can make AT soldiers drop their gadget upon death, so if you want a Panzerfaust you just have to go pick it off a dead enemy. Not to mention there have been times in early battles where I’ve been a German and said to myself I’d like to pick up a PTRS
Well i am not in favour of this opinion, 1stly ok no panzer faust in 3rd br, logical for br 1-2 but then we still might get 3rd br or most of the time in 3rd br you will be getting into the 4th and 5th brs where you will be needed those 180 mm of pen. 2ndly panzerfaust 60 in 4th br? In case of germans you will ofenror? and panzerfaust 100 like you will make pf 60 inferior to other options awaliable in this br. Like i understand where the roots are coming from but i would say that it is better to have weapons that can easily kill tanks, because for the most part its an infantry game and you should be attacking or defending a point in person, not in tank
Panzerfaust is perfectly fine as it is.
If anything, I would prefer USSR to have lend-leased AT weapons instead of captured equipment. But there are more pressing issues in the game right now.
I think the Panzerfaust 30 and 60 have the same armor penetration.
And even if not and we were to assume that the initial 30 would be not as strong as the 60, that damage difference would be negligible for the job the Panzerfaust has to do.
I mean most things in this game are added for basically just variety. The same goes for this game’s cousin Warthunder. Look at the copious variants of Shermans and Panzers that have only slight differences.
Sometimes someone wants to play the iconic Panzerfaust, others the Panzerschreck. It’s like at the moment we have the original Panzerschreck model, we might as well say why bother adding it’s iconic shield variants. The answer is for historical fun and variety
And with the Panzerfaust 30 in BR 3 and say you end up in 4-5 matches, I’m sure you’d be able to perform fine
My brother in Christ, there are only 2 versions of panzerfaust in game, pf 60 and pf 100, and surprisingly (not) they both have different values of armor pen. By your answer i now may play a game of assumptions and say that you have no idea what are you talking about because one might be a simple mistake but saying them having same or nearly the same armor pen value is another thing
I think you’re the one who is misunderstanding. I said the Panzerfaust 30 and the Panzerfaust 60 have the same armor penetration, I didn’t mention the 100.
