this is why they have two slots for weapons, 1 for the anti tank gun, and the other for the rifle.
extra fire power can’t hurt.
I see it as an option rather than an addition.
Carrying 2 AT weapons (barring grenades) should require a sacrifice of anti-infantry capability.
Meanwhile carrying the pistol rather than the AT rifle means you’re lighter and can go through more armor, but theoretically need to be at shorter range. Not that that’s much of an issue because 90% of my AT shots end up being inside 50m anyway. Just how it tends to happen.
i mean, either way you get acess to anti infantry capability.
if you put it as a side arm, you can use a rifle.
if you put it as a rifle slot, you can still use a normal side pistol.
not to mention, kampfpistol ( should ) be 1 shot. and can only pen 23 mm of armor. which it’s gonna be usefull against armored cars, halftracks, and light tanks.
and as i said, it could take the explosive package slot, a different way of dealing with tanks. i would put it a bit rare though. and usable only to anti tank specialized infantry.
researchable through squad too.
Is it a rifle grenade or a mini-rocket? Guessing rifle grenade. I would assume it’s reloadable either way.
My point is that as a sidearm, you can carry a carbine, an AT rifle, and the pistol, so you end up not compromising on anything.
you still don’t get compromised by carring 4 medkits, 4 grenade/explosives?
i don’t see a 1 shot pistol that does the explosive grenade job be that much of a trouble.
technically, it can be reloaded. but just like the grenade rifle, you need to carry those grenades.
Even if it’s reasonably inaccurate, it would still be easier to use at a longer range than det packs, with better pen than AT rifles.
Maybe once antipersonnel pistols get buffed it’ll be a good trade-off, but right now you’re not sacrificing anything by choosing an AT pistol over an antipersonnel one.
Equipment slots you’re at least trading something, even if det packs are objectively the best explosive and need to be nerfed, there’s still medpacks to compete for theoretical real-estate
Good news to Le_Mofoman
I have found your suggested weapon here in the files
I will also post it on my recent topic
