New AT rifle confirmed?

[[TW]Ramm-Jaeger]

I'll never know if they sound very different, since I didn't get to hear the real thing firing. And 99.99999999999999% of you will never hear the real thing fire either But since we can't pay tens of thousands of dollars to get the best recordists in the business and all of their equipment out to a remote location in the Nevada desert twice we rolled with the backup.

So is it PTRS or Solothurn? Don´t be so mysterious!

It's PzB. 35 (p). At least it'll have kick *** sound.

It has to be the PTRS. The Soloturn weighs 40kg, twice as heavy as the PTRS. It would be ridiculous for someone to be running around with a monster like that in Stalingrad.

Or who knows, maybe they added both for some crazy balancing.

Yeah, probably it´s PTRS. But why then they would have used L-39 as substitute sound? I mean, bit weird having the L-39 with them in the desert to begin with. And I should think that a semi automatic gun fireing .50 BMG (wouldn´t be too hard to find in the US) would be closer to sound caused by 14.5x114 mm. At least closer than 20x138 mm cartridge, no matter what device is used to fire those cartridges.

Haha. I like how everyone just assumed away. Ramm shot em down! I can't wait to hear these new sounds!

Sounds like an Activision-like cop-out to me. BURN THE DEVELOPERS!

Well, crap! Now I guess I'll just have to learn to live with having the immersion of my gameplay ruined everytime someone fires a round from that AT. The only other alternative would be to not play the game at all. Damn it all to hell (and other pointless explicatives).

Please give us server option to remove that particular weapon. Otherwise, people will start bailing from the servers everytime that weapon is used. C'mon. You know they will.

Did you guys film it for the making off?

But their equipment didn't work so it is their fault and they should get a chance to fix it.

Not the sound recordists' fault. It was the armorer's problem - and he took the Lahti as a backup because he was concerned about the condition of the PTRS. Wasn't the only "failure" that trip - but the other one was rather more spectacular!

Now you'll HAVE to watch the "making off" to find out what else happened

And....where can we find the "making off"? In a special/collectors edition of the game?

Is this "making of" going to be on a special edition DVD or something? That would be awesome

No S-18/1000 then. Well,to be honest, it would have been nearly impossible to implement realistically. And it would have been too rare. It just would have been one of the weapons never before seen in any game.

We did actually consider the Solothurn - but it is such a beast that we couldn't put it in as anything sensible. Sprint across the map with it, mantle a wall and duck into cover, before popping up to deploy it and picking off a T-34? Even Governator Schwarzie coulnd't pull that off

[Snuffeldjuret]

Perhaps as static but usable map object though? =)

You can find it in the DLC "Centauro" for "Theatre Of War 2: Africa 1943".

Used by Italian troops in Africa.

Out of curiosity, did the armorer say they sounded similar? My guess is it would sound like something between the PTRD and 39, as the PTRD fires the same cartridge.
