Semi-auto AT rifles

Suggestions
1

Though people like to talk smack about AT squads, with their 3 AT gunners, you can have one equip an AT rifle.

These AT rifles have a niche but important use. They can engage things like AT or AA guns at a distance. This makes them extremely useful, in even high BRs. However, only 2 nations have semi auto AT rifles, those being the USSR and Japan.

So here are my suggestions for USA and Germany:

USA:

  • Solothurn S18/100 - Although the US never really used them, I couldn’t really find any alternatives, but I read that they purchased a few of them for testing.

Germany:

  • Solothurn S18/100 - Rifle originating from Germany and Switzerland

  • Lahti L39 - Rifle originating from Finland

  • PzB 784(r) - Better known as the PTRS-41

Alternatively, you could use Solothurn S18/1000 instead of Solothurn S18/100 but it looks kind of big and might look goofy.

I think these requests are quite reasonable and should be considered.

I wouldn’t recommend adding captured content; when a better solution would be to make AT drop their gadget on death so your squad can continue to use it/ enemy captured it

NO.

Just stop copy pasting stuff across several trees. It’s not like some trash AT rifles are even needed for balance.

Well yes, but actually no.
Solothurn was a complete fasade Company. Befor Rheinmetall bought them, they were a clock company. Making arm watches.
Its 100% Rheinmetall development. Guns and Ammo.

Well its a bit more powerfull than the Japanese AT rifle iirc, so it wouldnt be that goofy.

Even though i love norsupyssy i think it would be a bit too big. Maybe it could work as a static engineer buildable. I know type 97 exists but really the only reason for that is the fact that japan got nothing better

Maybe for event/premium squad like the wz 35 but definitely not tech tree. We should avoid putting captured weapons in tech trees
