The Soviet tree isn’t as innocent as you think it is…
Anyway, prototypes are acceptable when no historical domestic alternatives exist to fill a balance needs in the tech tree, and they take precedence over captured content… because, again, it’s cringe… and frankly lazy.
The soviet TT is already filled with ahistorical nonsense despite the lack of need for it. And Japan never should’ve moved past BR3 but that’s outside the scope of this.
Soviets were notoriously bad with HEAT shells during WW2. 76mm HEAT tank shell only achieved 80mm penetration, 30mm VPGS41 only had 35mm pen.
122mm HEAT shell did about 90mm pen during WW2, 190mm pen value ingame is another case of shameless postwar plug-in. Remember how SU9 was supposed to be an exception?
The Problem for Japan is that Japan hade higher Br aircraft like KI 84 there would be even option to add some higher Br Japanese aircrafts even without the use of Prototypes or pure Paper stuff atleast to Br 4!
There Problems is that in Tanks and armored vehycles Japan hade really problems i think to dont go into prototypes or things never seen combat then there maybe would the highest vehycle maybe be Br3 A Spg vehycle for Japan should really be added the Type 4 Ho-Ro - Suggestions / Vehicles - Enlisted — official forum.
Infantry anti Tank weapons of Japan where terrible if you think on the things what where really used in ww2!
I get it , but this is hard to fit in since at br2 it wouldbe too good since it has 150mm penetration and at br3 it would be unusable because it has a 6s reload time
You can cut the reload time to something more in line with the other AT weapons. All other AT launchers have a reload time around three second with a bit of deviation and even at BR2 a six second reload would be a hard sale since you can get more than two M1 rounds out in the same time.
A 6 second reload at br 2 would be too good if it penetrates 150mm armour since you most likely need one shot to eliminate a tank. It would be very good for br 2.
The problem i have is you can get moscow maps more often and seeing a late war prototype in moscow is wierd.
It could be foldered whit the faust 60 as a br 3 alternative for people who want to use soviet AT weapons at br 3.
It would still be an overkill at br 2 since the M1 bazooka doesnt always one shot tank but this would one shot them every time no matter where you hit the tank.
It could go foldered whit the faust 60 as a longer range alternative with less penetration.
So basicly you tell me that those are post war and never had a chance to be used in those 3 days?
Also in prior polls the overwealming majority had voted that everything post germany surrender is to be treated as post war as that would basicly be the case in soviet VS germany lobbies even when tecnicly it would fall into the time period of the manchuria offensive.
Did you read the suggestion or the source?
Becuse i wrote
They made The B type launcher in 1944 that later got improved and became the LPG-44 and later renamed RPG-1
They had the blueprints of the LPG-44 way before germany surrendered they just dont started producing them.
And people dont seem to care if it is just a prototype.
i say no because theres no tech tree vote , and i dont like much about the panzerfaust being C and P , soviets could have its own unique stuffs on tech tree
