Remove detpack from game

So you want to replace the comically easy tank destroyer grenades by other comically easy tank destroyer grenades? What exactly would that change about the current situation?

Imagine believing that there is “a situation” rn in game with detonation pack against tanks :joy:

I mainly play Normandy and tanks there are basically juicy free points on most maps. They’re laughably easy to take out right now.

I like historical AT grenade idea, but what about balance?Soviets will be able to throw RPG-43 at infantry and Axis can’t throw sticky bombs or how does they work?

Exactly… But aactually there is lot of situations where tanker thinks he is immortal god and drive straight to ambush and get REKT by detopacks… fools they are :smile:

Don’t worry, germans had their own stuff as well:

Made me realize a kid game company might be secret werhaboos:

Something about rpg-43 tells me it wont kinda fit in moscow campaing…

But seriously german got their own AT grenade called something like panzerwurfmine(spelling) and was used early in war. Soviets got their own rpg-40 early.

actually those would be pretty cool replacement for tnt. rpg-40 is just explosive filled grenade that exploded on contact.
Actually i really like idea of these… no need for cooking, just throw and watch that tank burn

I also liked idea giving new historical at grenades only to engies/bombers because right now current detpacks are just sort of ‘another grenade’ to compete in CQC grenade spamming contest’. If they become more limited they would be saved for tanks and used against infantry only at emergency situations.
I disliked idea hassling with tank shell types/other parameters, however. Tanks are not really OP against infantry to make any more nerfs to them, if at some part of game they are OP, that’s only because of crappy spawn system where tanks can shoot directly at spawn points, for example first Axis spawn at Lehrter Banhof invasion is really terrible, if you know what I mean.

Literally only thing that doesnt make them OP is the fact that every infantry can carry detopack.

If tnt get replaced by at grenades and those are limited to certain classes then i think HE shells also should be limited to certain tanks like m8 scott, t-28, panzer IV E etc…

That way every tank coulnt just spank infantry cause most infantry classes would be just helpless against tanks

Exactly. thats why devs limit at weapons also they need limit tankers ability to totally destroy infantry

except the sticky bomb is like HESH that can defeat only 25mm of armor, and RPG-43 is HEAT that can defeat 75mm at a 90 degree striking angle, and for moscow we could have the rpg-40 which can only get through 25mm at most… and with the power of gamism they could deal less damage to infantry without a direct strike

Well in moscow…german tanks don’t really have much in term of armour… Maybe the late pz3 lvl 29, but even so it’s just on the front. I doubt anyone would be dumb enough to try and go stick it/ throw it on the fr… scratch that, ppl are dumb, they totally would.

Tanks are fine, just people dont know to play them and rush to enemies and then reeeing " MuH wHy An InFaNtRy CaN kIlL mE"

i’m pretty sure RPG-40 was just a normal HE grenade though yeah they would be strong against anything with low armor which would be most things outside of panzer 4 frontally and the panzer 3 e and onwards again frontal

Exactly, it’s why I think they would do 🤷

yep and plus it would be historically accurate for the time

Not only that, but those were notoriously bad vs infantry due to their lack of frag sleeve. Would also correct the anti infantry problem the tnt has. Except when it lands directly on Hans chest, in wich case Hans becomes pink mist Hans.

yes it was just big HE grenade that exploded on contact.

Those would be really nice and historical accurate weapons but when tankers realise those could destroy their little tincans… yeah we know outcome

Also US is little bit tricky cause they didnt have own at grenada afaik.
But soviets could have rpg 40, 43 and 6…

which is more reasons to do it lol and they could use the sticky bomb since those are the british plus they need to add actual british squads into the game for normandy

Bah. Tanks are easy to destroy already unless they camp at the edges of maps. Yes we would get tank main players complaints, like we get the occasional " no I don’t want bombers nerfed!" From bomber planes main. But nobody cares about these people, so everything is fine.
