Replace the Sturmpistole to the Faustpatrone 30 or Panzerfaust 30 to par with the PIAT

Some of you may think to change the PIAT instead but try to think of any trashier allied anti-tank weapon that can par the Sturmpistole, anti-tank rifles like the Boys anti-tank gun is obsolete in Normandy except for Pumas.

The PIAT even though has the same penetration power in-game - but I could be wrong, the Sturmpistole has 80mm of pen whilst the PIAT has 100mm of pen, adding another advantage over the Sturmpistole - it also has more velocity, which means more range, and it does more damage than the Sturmpistole. I believe it to have more damage for the reason that I get killed from the side from 1-2 shots and the front from 1-3 shots, with each shot critically damaging my tank, whilst it takes more than the Sturmpistole and sometimes not enough and I have to use dynamites. Don’t try to say I suck at placing my shots, I know where I’m shooting and I have to avoid the damn tank gun and infantry.

I have a bit of a hard time killing tanks with the Sturmpistole that makes me not want to have bombers on any of my squad that offers it to be added and rather use explosive packs instead because of how bad it is, especially against M4A2 with the ammo rack having an added armor on the side of the tank, let alone jumbos where you gotta aim the place between the boogies because you can’t pen it anywhere other than there and good luck trying to hit the ammo rack stored there with the tank moving around every time. you don’t even know at what range your gun is aiming because it would just shoot upward when you’re facing the spot you want the hit the tank is, so you gotta aim lower of the spot you want to hit, unlike the PIAT. M4A2s and Jumbos have appeared at a greater number now and the Sturmpistole can’t keep up with them, whilst the PIAT can keep up alright because it can kill every German tanks in Normandy with ease.

I see the Faustpatrone 30 or the Panzerfaust 30 to be a good par with the PIAT. The Faustpatrone and Panzerfaust 30 have more penetration than the PIAT but the PIAT offers more velocity ( 76m/s ) and range than the Faustpatrone 30 or the Panzerfaust 30 ( 45m/s ) and the weapons for both sides perhaps have the same post damage effect on the tank. Do you folks agree? I could ask for the Panzerfaust 60 or 100, but the range feels too much to be par-with the PIAT

This looks really like something that can par the PIAT
faustpatrone

It’s Normandy, 1944. Do you really want to have a flare gun that can shoot small heat propellant as your anti-tank? And let the Yankees with a weapon based on a spigot mortar system to be their anti-tank?

I believe that Panzerfaust 100 will be in Normandy, but changing Sturm out for a lower velocity Faust wouldn’t be a bad idea

Just add faustpatrone or panzerfaust together with Bombers II.
I don’t see a reason to trash assets that costed time and money to implement.

Oh yeah, feeling it so well, we complain a lot but we have no other choice but to adapt to war thunder. Pure suffering that would lead us to the very dawn of oblivion. The hell brought upon this world by a snail to roam around the lives of us, only the strong may break the chain of “want to play War Thunder again”

the first thing that comes up to my mind actually, bomber 2 with faustpatrone or panzerfaust. But i’m thinking they would want the same for the Allies, a bomber 2, which would require another stronger anti tank weapon than the already strong PIAT.

Well I hope we are both wrong and they will do smth.

Bomber II for allies will probably have Bazooka.

10

Problems start with Bomber III because axis gets panzerschreck and allies get… super bazooka from the korean war?

11

one shots every German tanks in sight.

12

Not every.

13

They can get M1 Bazooka in Bomber II and M9 Bazooka on Bomber III.

Then panzerfaust 100 for germans?
Because in Berlin (so sooner or later also in Normandy for Bomber II) we have 30 if I remember correctly.

15

I dont see why not. But that would be more for Bomber II imo, and Bomber III will get Panzerschreck.

16

I mean, M9 Bazooka can pen ~100mm while panzerschreck can pen ~200mm.
It doesn’t seem fair to put them as “equal” in the unlocks.

17

i dosent really matter that piat is slightly more powerfull than the sturmpistole they are trash anyway, tnt is a much better option always.

But does even allies have anything that can compete with Panzerschreck? I can’t remember anything right now tbh.

19

Me neither and that’s the problem.
Only thing I can think of is super bazooka with ~280mm but it’s korean war.
Alternative is that we don’t even try to find sth equal and instead balance it in other way.

there was nothing powerfull as the panzershrek that was in service at that time regarding rocket launchers.
