I can tolerate Japan getting a Panzerschreck. Japan did try to receive military support from Germany. They bought a Tiger and Stgs, Germany gave them jet technology. It’s plausible to add to the faction.
However I do not accept the Allies having the Panzerschreck. Capture content is lazy when its not even unique. If you want your enemies’ weapon you should just grab it during battle. The Allies Panzerschreck should be removed and replaced with a proper weapon.
The M20 or Super Bazooka was developed to counter the more powerful Panzerschreck. Now some would say the M20 was not used during the war and it’s potent rocket was made after the war thus it shouldn’t be added. I disagree
I do not believe the M20 violates this game’s timeline. There are many prototype and experimental weapons and vehicles. Some were technically completed post-war like the Stg 45 and the latest Su-9 jet.
This game’s rule is that it was made, produced, served, designed, or developed DURING and/or FOR the war. The M20 meets that criteria
So remove the Allied Panzerschreck in the RT, and give them the M20 Bazooka instead

devs already said that the M20 at the time didn’t have it’s improved HEAT rocket that you would see it’s specs as however we could replace it with the panzerfaust since the US did use those with the most notable user being the 82nd

You are right. But they already broken their own rules…multiple times…especially with su-9 because they lacked an equivalent to fill the role. 
The p-80 is arguably post war version too, and someone said rocket pershing too

No, it’s not. Ofenrohr in Asia is pure nonsense.
In such case, US/UK KV-1 and T-34 when?

SU-9 is a weird one since it started to being developed in 1944 and what actually took
so long was that they were waiting for the native engine to be made…until the russians decided to use the 262 engines in December of 1945 which is the version we have in game
A-5 is the wartime version (there is no difference between the YP-80 and the F-80A-5 outside the postwar naming system) you are thinking of the C-10
from what i can find it was a one time test on the 250th production vehicle, either just from Detroit arsenal or in total.
if it’s from just Detroit arsenal then that would put the m26(t99) sometime in june or july of 1945, if it’s in total then that would make it a vehicle from march of 1945 with our official end date being september of 1945

Ill take your word for it. All I know is even the markings on the P-80 skin have the date 1947 or something (Will have to find the picture, cant check in game…IM at work)
But the Su-9 … which ever way you want to look at it. In the announcement post they announced they were under the impression it was post war. So whether it is or it isnt doesnt really matter. They were willing to break their own rules when they were under the impression it was post war.

I refuse to give my men the Shreck… it’s too “cringe”.
I wouldn’t mind the m20 with time traveling rockets thought. That barrier has been crossed by Gainjin and won’t be the last anyway. At least it’s allies.

the skin is probably post war due to them being lazy and just copying it from war thunder (where i began my love for that thing) and that is why i labeled the SU-9 as the weird situation but the option is to use the Yak-15 which is just the standard Yak in game but with a 262 engine strapped to it

i like the gas mask and that is the only way to get it sadly
We don’t have it for the bazookas?
…
why…
(yes, I never noticed)
The development of the M20 began during and was intended for the war. It passes
Interesting but I think the only captured content should be what you pick off the battlefield
I agree with you but I can begrudgingly accept it. It’s way off in left field, but it can be tolerated.
Could be a neat event vehicle
All that matters is it was made, produced, served, designed, or developed during/ for the war
I am pretty sure eventually we will get the T28

the same reason why the later panzerschrecks had that heat shield while bazookas never had one

i am trying to figure out when the round you are thinking of was actually made (m28a2 btw) so far i’ve come up with nothing other than it was used in korea but so far it looks like it’s a post war rocket with the base M28 rocket’s performance being a relatively underperforming for what it needs to do likely sitting around 150mm of pen…which was the issue that made the devs pass on the super bazooka not the year of the weapon’s production
i’m more mixed on it considering that the soviets made panzerfaust standard issue after capturing depots full of them
It’s often their loss…
For allies, they disregard flying kings like the Spitfire.
Axis, the G10…
etc.
Planes that almost guarantee that enemy planes meet the ground faster

i would probably used it either way since it’s still has 23mms and it looks ugly
It is still not their technology nor technology of some minor nation under soviet influence
It is just pure copy paste in TT. They didn’t even bother to slightly change its texture.
Btw. It’s not like they would remove pfausts from your inventory if you already own them. They would be remade into legacy weapons and replaced by something else.
So it’s not like the Japanese Ofenrohr can ever be fixed either.
Thank you for your post. I agree.
It’s utterly ridiculous that every tech tree now has German ‘bazooka’.
The devs themselves said the Soviet jet was postwar so I think that settles that.
The M2 Carbine as well, while it was available in the late stages of the war it only saw some minor service at Okinawa and there’s not much detail on that. It’s very much a Korean War era weapon.
I have previously suggested that the Korean War be added. Originally this was a ‘for the future’ suggestion with the hope we would see more WWII content.
DF however consistently refuses to invest in WWII properly, for one ignoring over half the war and various combatant nations.
The addition of jets has seen renewed calls to move to the Cold War. The devs themselves may not officially endorse these calls, but lets face it WTF else is this game supposed to have?
As Ive said, DF refuses to accept most of WWII. So we are stuck in this horrid late war prototype limbo. Id rather us move forward to a proper Korean War campaign then remain in fairytale purgatory.
The reason Im bringing this up here is because if we went to Korea the Superbazooka would no longer be an issue. We all agree the Superbazooka existed in 1944, its just the rockets didnt appear until later.
The thing about the Korean War is it was almost all Second World War vintage tech. Ive said many times and its true that like 95% of the weapons used are already in game.
The only things missing are:
T20 Superbazooka (which would be a good replacement for the stupid copypaste German bazooka)
M4A3E8 tank which is a Second World War tank and used extensively.
The RAAF for example used Mustangs and Gloster Meteors in Korea. Both are now in game.
The North Koreans used Soviet propeller aircraft for a while (already in game) and then eventually the MiG 15.
We already have a postwar Soviet jet. They could even focus on the early part of the Korean War if DF wanted to avoid later additions like the MiG 15 and F86 Sabre.
I too have refused to use the Ofenrohr on the US and Japs, I hate it.
