Bomber is unlocked at level 8 with crappy Sturmpistolle than can’t even destroy Stuart
And your second and actually first good AT weapon is at level 30
Grinding through 22 levels to actually deal any damage to tanks… 22 levels just to made entire 1 class viable
Level 18-20 could be reasonable but level 30 is just absurd
Whoever placed it at level 30 must be fired

Now I’m happy that I made my Germans to level 29 before this update. However I agree.
The Panzerfaust has an absurd projectile speed of 25 meters per second. In reality this figure is 45 meters per second. I created a bug report, but I don’t think anyone cares that the projectile flies absurdly slow, violating the laws of physics.

Definetly should be earlier unlock. Powerful At weapons should be unlocked almost sametime as powerful tanks

I like the sturmpistole. It can pernitrate the frontal armor of the Stuart and kill the crew and it will instantaneously cause an ammo explosion if you aim for the ammo rack with side shots on the Sherman and Jumbo. Go practice aiming at the ammo rack in practice mode and it will pay off in game. Youll have to be pretty close to the jumbo though, the ammo is on the floor of the tank and is hard to hit with too much downward deflection.

Bullshit, it struggles even with side and back armor
It’s impossible in 99% of cases during normal combat
Practice mode =/= Normal combat. I can also destroy a vehicle with a aircraft rocket in practice mode but I never saw anyone who done this in normal match
In that case I will use TNT pack like 99% of players because it actually has chance to OTK
i agree, the americans get a PIAT and the germans get, a modified flare gun. works fine for a tier 5 weapon not so much when dealing with a Jumbo (which has no right being at the unlock lvl it is), shit id even be fine with the panzerfaust patrone 30 instead of the sturmpistole.
The real issue is the Jumbo, sure shermans are a pain to deal with until you get the pz4 but you can deal with them or just TNT them since grenades are a waste of time. OR take the somewhat better option and overhaul the damage model for every vehicle, so im not emptying 50 tank shells into a M5 because i didnt hit the magic spot or im dumping a TNT on the engine deck of a Jumbo for it to detonate and do nothing.
I’m afraid @20290200 is right on this one. Since the “nerf bombs” patch, the sturmpistol has been much more reliable. I never use the training room so all of my experience is in combat. You can definitely pen the Stuart from any angle (actually have gotten best results from the front), and can 1 shot the Sherman or Jumbo (aim at side right below the track). I have also gotten a couple lucky shots from the front of the Sherman which I did not know was possible.
Now the Sturmpistol is no PIAT, but it is def better than it was and is quite useable. My only real complaint with it is the ungodly slow reload.
No worries bazooka for Allies is not very good and its same level same goes for bnew Thompson that is hot garbage worst in every way from older one
If you know where to hit the tank, it can be very good
