We need better AT weapons...
- Thread starter Yustax
- Start date
Alright, Im going to be honest. I rather have AT guns that anything else in the thread. They are badass, good to use; you dont know how much AT guns meant in WW2. A front that didnt had AT guns was lost, and many times they outnumbered tanks. Plus 1000m for AT guns in the maps is good distance. Most tanks engagements are happening at 200+ but you can have engagements at 1000 meters.

First they need to fix the Hafthohlladung. I've said this too many times so I will just show you this video.

Also after playing Barracks and Red October Factory today I noticed that there are Static Mesh Anti Tank Guns. I seriously think TWI should add this in as usable weapons in the same way they use the Heavy Machine Guns.

Remember that the anti-tank rifles were not all that useful against front armour on tanks, even early war when the armour was thinner. Useful against tracks, or rear/side areas with weaker armour perhaps. They were best able to disable engines, disable tracks or damage optics.
Some of the other AT equipment suggested in this thread was not in use in late 1942/early 1943 when this map takes place. Satchels are already available, as are magnetic AT grenades.

And AT guns as well. Flak 18/36, Pak 36, Pak 38, Pak 40 were fairly common. Same with the other rest of the soviet guns, except for the ZIS-3.

No, but you could have a Pak 38 covering the flanks. Remember that in Stalingrad, the germans had every block defended. That includes adding many AT guns as well. Mg's could cover them as well. In FH2 the level design is that for every AT gun, there exist from one or three MG emplacements.

It takes some tactics and skill to get a tank kill as infantry. Driving tanks would be lame if it was super easy to kill a tank. There has to be a risk. On Red October Factory earlier, my buddy and I were prone in a crater. A t34 was 30m away looking at our direction. My buddy got up and sprinted left while the T34 was tracking him I broke right and was able to chuck a haufthohladung; blowing it up and moving on.
Tactics not crutches.

I don't think tanks are really imbalanced/AT too weak. On fallen fighters for example, infantry can hard to see do to the fog so careless tankers will get caught by AT soldiers/Engineers. If a tank is dug in well and AT soldiers can't get him, you still have Arty and your own tanks to challenge them. I think it ties in with the teamwork aspect. AT guns like in AHz Vehicles from RO1 would be nice though.

Of course, but it's always nice when a Lafette MG34 cover your advance, while AT guns cover the flanks so you can get tanks to go into the front or against them. AT guns are a must for this game; sadly they even has some modelled but they cant be used
That makes me a sad panda...

Well, on late 1943, the prototype of the Panzerfaust was supplied to the german army, eventually it would become the Panzerfaust 30.

Well it gets very Irritating when people ask the same thing over and over again. If you just search the word "Panzerfaust" in google you would learn.

That is a great movie if you all ever get a chance to watch it; "Stalingrad". Watch in the German with subtitles, don't even go near the dubbing LOL.

I prefer it as it is. Tanks are a real threat in RO2 now, as RO1 any old rocket launcher could take them out fairly easily. Now you have to be more careful, especially if it's a map where the enemy has a tank and you don't.

Of course, but tanks cant do anything. We need AT guns, they would be a wonderful addition to RO2.
