Sholokhov atr can barely penetrate 5mm?

Hello comrades!

I wanted to ask, is it historically accurate that the sholokhov atr cannot even penetrate 30mm from 20m away? Also i tried in the shooting range, it barely penetrates the 5mm frontal armor of the panzer II…

In a real match, i found a panzer III B and spammed it from the side (14.5mm) with shots from 2m away… the first one went through, at the same spot, the following 6 shots did not…

Is that on purpose?

It shouldn’t be nearly as strong as the 14.5 mm ones as it shoot the 12.7×108mm round (the same as the DShK), but definitely shouldn’t be as weak as you’ve described.

You mention the front and sides, but are you taking angles into account? When you say “the side” are you shooting directly at the side? As in the tank’s hull is perfectly perpendicular to your shot?

Should be on pair with PTRD/PTRS.

Need to be fixed.

Shokolov or Wz. 35? Unless I’ve been in a coma for 4 days, only the Wz. 35 should be available.

Looks like you’ve been in coma then.

dunno.

but i don’t think that in order to pen a tank, you need to be directly at 3 meters from that said tank.

both the new anti tank rifles have kinda disappointed me.

but hey, they are still good against infantry.
( though… yeah. if i needed to kill infantry, i could have gone for a normal trooper with extended pouches instead )

Well, the polish rifle is usable until you’ll get a GrB, Sholokhov makes no sense to use it at all…

Premium … :rofl:

eh, i like that it’s fast to use.

it’s like a pzb38 but on steroid for the USSR

though… yeah i guess the ptrs is still better.

No, its not… At least it should have better ROF than PTRD, and increase some damage a bit… it’s not usable against tanksbat the moment.

If people in practice need 20 shots to kill PZ2 - it is broken in my world.

It is… It shouldn’t be that weak, but it shouldn’t do the same damage as PTRD, because it has a weaker ammo…12.7x108 < 14.5x114

yeah, you’re right about that. I expressed myself poorly.

I mean on pair as in usable in game like PTRD/PTRS.

Today there’s no reason to equip it at all.

Both are useless.

Removed the zh and avs and send both squads to reserve.

0 reason to use over the campaign. Ones

And even that, nothing a tnt pack doesn’t do.

You can still kill plane with them

And people sweting/ struggling for squads that are only useful for noobs (and not even for noobs, if the guy up there is telling that it doesn’t even pen Pz. II). What a joke. 15k points for this, but hey, they have a “unique” uniform…
