Let me start like this. The Panzerfaust 60 is a BR 3 AT weapon, meaning it can appear in both early and late game. Now I understand the balance arguments of it breaking early game but I am going to speak from a different perspective. It is ruining the atmosphere to see the Panzerfausts, made in 1944, popping up in Moscow 1941 and Stalingrad 1942. I have seen the Panzerfausts here on both friend and foe alike. Seeing it on the backs of my teammates, and even more funny when my tank was destroyed by a time traveling Panzerfaust. First I would suggest making the Panzerfaust 60 BR 4. Obviously they also have to stop Stalingrad from being BR 4 (they likely did this because there is a lack of late war Soviet campaigns and maps, I’m sure we’ve all seen T-34-85s and other time travelers)
As a compromise they can add the Faustpatrone 42. The Faustpatrone 42 was an experimental shaped charge launcher that was the progenitor of the Panzerfaust family. This could be added as BR 1-2. I would rather tolerate this experimental weapon than it’s time traveling older brothers.
Now I do not want them to just give the Soviets a copy of this weapon. If the anti tank rifles aren’t sufficient enough for early war for you, if (and big emphasis on IF) they could add a lend leased bazooka.
Now since we’re on the topic of Panzerfausts I was just saying that they could add the Faustpatrone or Panzerfaust 30 Klein (which was the next step after the 42) and the Panzerfaust 30 (the first Panzerfaust that had that famous look) as BR 3. And the Panzerfaust 150, the last official version, as BR 5.
oh my gosh the RPG1 could not even pen the Panther which the M9 can easily do in my opinion the US should get the Panzerfoust too as some US units used them to deal with latter German heavy tanks
issue with that unlike the US and USSR Japan never got any nor the blueprint technology sharing was focused on tanks aircraft and large rockets not small arms though as an alternative is to buff the M9’s penetration to allow it to fight more armored tanks
I would rather the game be consistent, if they already removed all captured weapons, why the hell the soviets get to keep them as unlockable?
Hell they are the only damn faction that gets all the wacky advantages? Fedorov is literally better than the AKM I can use in Gun game, AVT40 has half the recoil FG42 has despite having zero recoil mitigation system and is a SVT40 with full auto mode, the have captured weapons like Panzerfaust, lend and lease weapons(P40E), prototypes(AS44s), experimental weapons(DP Belt Fed), and failed testing weapons(AVT40) as unlockable, they have almost no bad gears unlike other nations…
But you know what they can’t fix? Their playerbase is dogshite
