Increase the penetration of the sturmpistole to 80mm

I think the Sturmpistole’s penetration should be increased to around 80 mm.

From what I’ve read, the Panzerwurfkörper 42 rounds used by the Sturmpistole were capable of penetrating roughly 80 mm of armor historically.

An increase to 80 mm penetration would make it more historically accurate and make it less bad. It still has plenty of limitations—short range, limited ammo, and the need for accurate hits—so I don’t think it would become overpowered.

A source is usually welcome when asking for these kinds of changes…

Even though they’ll be conveniently ignored, unless they’re for Japanese weaponry.

Good idea, thanks for the suggestion

from Thomas Anderson’s The History of the Panzerjäger: Volume 1

Panzerwurfkörper 42 and the Große Gewehr-Panzergranate (gr.G.Pz.gr.) are functionally the exact same weapon head.
