Is the Hafthohlladung supposed to do no damage to infantry?

[NoxNoctum]

Didn't post this in bug section cause I wasn't sure... I'm not an expert on what this weapon is supposed to do by any means. But I've had it explode twice literally IN MY FACE and it did zero damage which seemed a bit odd.

Is that the AT grenade? If so, I've managed a kill with it back on FallenFighters. Was a direct hit though.

It's shaped-charge explosive meaning that the armor penetrating molten copper rod which is caused by the explosion is concentrated on one direction with little to no damaga directed elsewhere. So it seems correct.

I got killed by it when it landed on the other side of a wall, I think the explosion normally ends up being shaped into the ground but in this case its hitting the wall cause the blast to go through and into the next room (where I was).

I don't know if either I'm not pressing the right button for this weapon, but in the game you can throw them... They were made so you can go up on a tank and place it on the armor and then ignite the fuse.

In game, I thought the "fire" button would do this when next to a tank... little did I realize my avatar threw the charge and it blew up killing me and the tank.

I hope they fix this, as to be accurate about having to actually place this charge on the tank. That's what the magnetic pincers are for, and that's why its a hollow charge, to place on the tank for maximum penetration, not a throwing charge like the 3kg satchel or the geballte landung.

That could be a nice secondary use for it.
