Exactly. We need fancy crazy AT weapons because of the ever rising armor

Iām hoping itās just the M18 Hellcat but who knows it will probably be the M36 Slugger or a super Pershing.
Frankly the way this game is organized is kinda weird. ngl. Definitely not how I would have approached it.
I donāt mind seeing prototypes and stuff like that as gold order weapons so they are very rare on the battlefield, I donāt care for mass fielding of rare weapons though.
Until then we canāt afford to make any changes to the detpack. The only AT weapon that works well. other than that would be the panzerfaust. Iāve heard the bazooka is lack luster (havenāt unlocked it yet)
Unfortunately by level 40+ they will essentially have to for one side or the other to make things āfairā. waiting for some prototype Russian StG thing soon or even worse captured weapons
The bazooka isā¦meh. Great against Pumas and if we have light vehicles which is what they were used for. Against panzers? Not the greatest
Iiir the M18 is already in the files and a Jumbo with a 76mm cannon. The Germans are going to get a PanzerjƤger IV according to the news. 76mm Jumbo is going to be a Premium placebo I guess. Edit: The Germans also get early StG for some reason.
I m always thinking about them.
Then yesterday I had a hardcore lone fighters game where I was inside the tiger and some players where spawning small Moscow soviet tanks against me.
Resulted in 21 or so tank kills and I thought about apcs instd of them.
Would be cool, sure, but probably too late for them to have a place with the current armor in-game on all campaignsā¦
Mechanized infantry can work. Just like anything else they can find their purpose in the game. It will not be to fight tanks (though I do know that some of Germanyās halftracks, did in fact have PaK guns mounted on them).
MI, and Halftracks for example, are there to move and protect a squad of infantry from small arms fire. Of which, they would be a perfect fit into this game. Take your Sd Kfz 251 for example.
Give it a squad of 9 Troopers and a frontally mounted MG. Now say you have a building on a flank or such that you just canāt seem to get close too because of all the small arms fire and snipers. You take your trusty Halftrack with its squad of troops, and blaze across the corridors and dump them right at their doorstep. Now you can assault that point without losing half or all your squad along the way. Or get in behind their lines FAST and disrupt the reinfocement paths of their troops.
They obviously wonāt be invulnerable. AT Rifles will have a new Target, AT Gunners themselves can put them down along with anything else bigger than rifle round.
But much like anything else, they can find there place much better than the Motorcycle squads can (it was a good idea, but just didnāt work in this game). Iāve shot and killed so many people off those motorcycles with just regular arms, that they are pointless for how small the squads are.
Tanks will Delete things no matter what it is. Another Tank, Infantry in or out of buildings. There is no additional risk, if anything it will reduce it a bit by being able to move at a much higher rate of speed.
And they can keep it spawn protected (just like tanks are being made) and safe by having multiple spawn points (just like tanks are getting).
I think they can work. Mechanized infantry could be a thing in this game if they do it correctly. Again, way better than motorcycles.
(Also, can you imagine if they did and didnāt fix the grey zone) Suicide rush a tank with 9 guys armed with Det Packs. Poof. Youāre gone.

20mm would shred a halftrack.

Which is perfectly fine. It is why I stated āsmall armsā.
The 2cm FLAK is NOT a small arm by any stretch of the imagination, and it rightfully should turn it into a burning pile of something.
But that works because that is how this game works. Move and counter move.
