Volksturm squads with Panzerfaust

Give Volksturm units access to Panzer Faust for their second weapon slot, but instead of carrying 6 they only carry 1, because unlike a normal German soldier these men would most likely be less prepared and armed.

And maybe we can get those civilian greatcoats for them too!

I think a great solution would be to give partizans (since they are Volksturm) the ability to get a disposable Pzf 30 instead of the TNT charges. (Or alternatively, just as with the Japanese TNT charges, make them a mine weapon for everyone. They might have to be nerfed to about 80mm to be BR2, as well as have terrible ballistics). Then there will finally be a way to destroy KVs easily for infantry and the Zis-5 could be moved to 3.

I think it would be funny if volksturm soldiers could trade their main weapon for a panzerfaust. It would probably be useless since you wouldnt have a rifle but atleast you could get authentic volksturm experience

I wish we could get squad of Volkssturm with randomized weapons and equipment every spawn, but there should be at least one faust each time. They should also have access to enemy weapons just rarely as a nice surprise.

I always thought this whole guerilla/commando/resistance thing was super rushed out. And missed out on making it better and less confusing. The Volkstrum deserve an anti tank weapon for each one, it’s a whole waste of unique aesthetics. Which I don’t think any other current WW2 multiplayer game has or features VS units.

Sometimes I wish we’d have a RTS-like mechanic were we could employ in battle ‘disposable’ squads that are not exactly well equipped or have an interesting drawback (meaning, they get something like a rifle, but they have a panzerfaust). And their stats are capped, so they’re not these sort of elite-commando that’s so prevalent for what should be a civilian-mostly unit. And these squads should be easy to spawn quickly.
