PanzerFaust damage

[DraKon2k]

Isn't it totally unrealistic that's 'Fausts' bounce off?

 

[[CiA]Stiletto]

Hit at a sufficiently oblique angle, almost anything will bounce off. I was only pissed pre-patch because I could tag stuff at like 45

 

[Sichartshofen]

Damage is fine, the number of soldiers running around with 3 fausts each however, is not.

Running around with a 40 pound AT rifle with 19 shells, 2 grenades and a pistol isn't realistic either.

I posted on my uber loadout the other day, I was carrying:
1 PTRD
19 PTRD shells
1 Pistol, loaded
4 Pistol mags
2 Hand grenades
2 10lb satchel charges
3 Panzerfausts

The game is far from "realistic" in this aspect.

Yeah, an actual inventory system would be nice.

 

[Tak]

It would be much simpler to implemented it as some 'one or the other' code, I'd think. PTRD/ammo OR a faust OR satchels, no combining them. That way the class system still works, and you can still be flexible on the fly *drop the PTRD and pick up a faust and a dropped SMG, or grab a faust after you've used your satchels up*. A full-blown inventory system lends itself well to things like Infiltration, where you're a modern spec-ops soldier choosing your gear you've trained with to take to the field, or the gear that is appropriate for the situation, but for a real war game it doesn't really make sense. Far as I know, WWII soldiers were issued/stole their gear, they didn't get to choose it at the start.

take the spawning of fausts out of the game i say.. just put in a ... amount, and be done with the thing.. then you'd have to hope no newb takes them all and starts missing every hit, but they'll learn soon enough as well that would stop all the infantry running around with a whole lot of fausts, making the tank battle a tank battle

The german APC should have 3 stacked inside for users to take.

Didnt germans have their own AT rifle?

 

[Lizardhands]

I was shizzowning SirReal's tank last night on KonigsPlatz with panzerfausts.

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

Yes, the Pz B Rifle Anti-Tank M39 but I think they were only used in France and North Africa.

 

[kapulA]

They WERE used in Russia but they were thrown away by their users because the shells bounced off Russian T34s and KV1s...

 

[Nebfer]

No thy would not throw them away (that would be vary bad for the person involved).

 

[LazerMane]

What a freakin' bull****. You have seen 1 video of a German propagenda takin' out the Soviet tank and you come here crying you want 1 shot kill with Panzerfast...god that's sad...

I suggest you watch some other vids that have been takin' while in real action and you will see that grenades and panzerfaust missiles bouch of often from tanks tanks. Tanks where made to stand for a while you known...

Another thing is gameplay in the game I personaly think the tanks blow up pretty fast...Try to be Soviet tanker on KoningsPlatz, that's a hell...
There is already enough Panzerfaust crew and the there damage is very balanced. I don't think the game should be changed because you like to be anti tanker with more points!

 

[Corporal Clegg]

I believe you have to angle your shot, if the tank is angled the panzerfaust round will deflect. I always get 1 shot kills with the panzerfaust. Nothing more satisfying than a 80+ meter panzerfaust kill.

there is no difference between T34/43 and T34/85 when shooting at the hull
