If I get it well the type 5 was shaped in 45 mm and in game can penetrate 100 mm of armor, however type 4 was shapend for 70 mm and in game can penetrate 80 unless prototype who have 90 something mm, so unless they give type 4 with that prototype why not give us the recoiless version shapend in 81 mm?

I don’t see the point, it has the same penetration as the type 5.
In history.JP infantry AT weapon on the top will be Type 4 90mm rocket.that’s no doubt that will be top AT weapon of JP team.but only 120 mm penetration.worse than panzerfaust60 of DE.
Well not until you check M9 Bazooka, its 102mm worth of pen
The problem is the penetration is estimated by the guy who post this. I doubt dev will use the estimation from some random guy.

I do think they have some researchers whom they can fall back to in this regard. Looking at the amount of prototype weapons already present in-game. We can just present them some nice ideas to work with.
thats why I made the post,thinking in possible things,Japan don’t have good AT stuff,its use this or the type 4 prototype and the grenade launcher for type 97 rifle I remember dont have lot of penetration
The easy thing to do would be:
-
Add the 81 mm recoilless at BR IV with 140mm Pen for the Japanese
-
Rename the M9 bazooka to M1A1 bazooka since it’s actually based on the stats of the real life M1A1, as well as being named M1A1 in the editor.

Add the real M9 bazooka at BR IV with 140mm Pen
That would pretty much fix the AT in this game. People usually think bigger number of MM? Must be better penetration. I’ve been able to kill a tiger 2 (H) from the front with a 85mm gun. It’s all about shot placement, so even if you were hitting it in the side it would be enough to penetrate with 140 mm.

Im starting to be confused, what exactly is then the so called “super bazooka”?
Super bazooka was the M20, While it was developed during world war II and they trialed it before the end of the war it never took part in world war II. At least that’s as far as I could see data-wise, could they add it it would be possible but would it work? Not sure since it would technically be post-war when it was used.

Well, we have so many prototypes already in the game, I think every nation should actually have access to a powerful AT launcher that can deal with BR5 vehicles, so if there ever was to be a compromise made, it should be about that first.
Its funny to me how Soviets get access to German Panzerfausts, but the other factions are allowed to suffer in their AT capabilities.

They definitely need to add proper AT, Germany was the only one that had AT at one point. That’s the whole reason why the USSR wound up with the panzerfaust anyways. Because the PTRD and PTRS wasn’t doing enough.
The only reason the Americans are suffering in anti-tank is because they don’t know what to add for Japanese. When it’s honestly that simple, It may not be the most practical but it’s the most realistic and the best option that they have if they want to fix anti-tank.
They just need to give Japan their 81 mm recoilless anti-tank, and give the Americans their proper anti-tank in return. This way they can’t say one faction is more overpowered than the other. Because both of them are still going to pale in comparison to the German rocket launchers. The panzerfaust 100 has a easy 220mm armor pen. And the ofenraur ( however it’s spelled) has 200. So the least they could do is bring the Americans and Japanese above 100 mm. 140 mm is more than enough to penetrate a tiger 2 (h), a perishing, and the Ho-Ri reproduction you just have to know where you’re aiming.

So you just gonna create fake pen number to boost its pen? Also, br4? The panzerfaust is br3 you know?
What did you mean by this? There is both M1a1 and M9 in the editor.
Lol compare tank gun that has pen indicator with bazooka that don’t show where the shot land.
If you talking about side, even 100mm of pen is sufficient. The most important is the ability to pen from front.
they did fake things for AS-44 and is in game

What do you mean by this?
If they have already committed the fallacy of inventing things for a weapon, your argument matters little…
Lol why even bother to add the 81 mm recoiless rifle, just copy the type 5, give 200mm of pen to it and call it type 6.
because that’s blatant fake
Doesn’t matter since
Moreover, there is little difference between it and give 140mm penetration to 81mm recoiless rifle.
