The SPG-82 (transliterated Russian: Stankovyi Protivotankovyi Granatomet - heavy antitank grenade launcher) was a Soviet wheeled antitank rocket launcher that entered service after the end of World War II. It was replaced in Soviet service by the B-10 recoilless rifle from 1954 but remained in service with some armies, notably in the Middle East until the 1970s.[1] The SPG-82 was also carried by BRIMOB (the Indonesia Police Mobile Brigade) in 1963.[citation needed] It has been replaced by B-10 recoilless rifle.
Description[edit]
The weapon consists of a long barrel tube with a flared muzzle, supported by a simple carriage with two small solid wheels. A curved shoulder pad is attached to left side of the barrel, and a large shield is fitted to protect the crew from the back-blast produced by the rocket projectiles. The shield is not thick enough to provide protection from enemy fire. The weapon is normally fired from the carriage, but it can be dismounted and shoulder fired by two men working together to support the weapon.
The weapon fires two types of projectiles, a general purpose explosive/fragmentation round, the OG-82, and an armour piercing anti-tank round, the PG-82. It has two sets of iron sights corresponding to the two different rounds fired by the weapon. The HE sight is graduated out to 700 meters while the weapon’s effective range for the HEAT round is around 200 meters. 
Many people wish for each tech tree to be more unique for each faction i agree in principle. The US use of 45 ACP is unique and does not need to be duplicated one for one by other factions. On the other hand effective AT rockets is not something a faction can substitute with something else. Many wish to see the super bazooka added either with post war ammunition or modified stats. As bad as it is i agree it is a better choice than giving every faction German AT Rockets.
The PTR-82 would be a good option like the super bazooka it could easily become a high level at weapon. I would like to see it as a substitute or reskin of the capture german weapon. it would of course be at the same br as having the same capabilities. While wheel mounted the s18 and type 97 have proven soldier in enlisted are super human.

i dont know about this but the PTR-82 has a fragmentation round that could be used against infantry, i seem to recall German having a similar round this could be a nice addition to high level at weapons or maybe even a different version just for anti-infantry. thanks for listening i agree all factions should be unique as possible so long as it does not give a faction a decided advantage.
