Tactics Where do you shoot Half Tracks with PTRD?

[snakedude24]

On this note, why not allow resupply like a machine gunner? On the PTRD damage issue, I'd prefer disabling ammo criticals or at least greatly reducing their severity/likelyhood for this weapon only. Less of an insta-kill weapon and more devoted to engine knockouts, track snapping (if this is likely) and weak point damage (simulated by gradual degredation of health).

I don't think that resupply is historically accurate......


But I agree with you on the damage stuff.

noob question here for all the ballistic experts out there :
how come a simple ptrd can destroy small and medium tanks, while a 5 cm AT gun woud only scratch those vehicles?
because i remember from a previous life ( ) that 5cm guns were useless against... "tanks" ...in general

So killing yourself with grenade so that another reinforcement guy can replace you is more realistic?

Quite!

Or - go find a dead body, grab some Panzerfausts, and make yourself useful. Don't whine to me that you missed 15 shots......

Panzerfausts are not the issue here. I'm talking about resupplying of PTRD. If basic load of 200 rounds cannot be implemented, then I suggest that PT-soldats should be able to get resupply as well as Pulemetchiks.

Russian anti-tank can hold 200 PTRD rounds? News to me.

 

[Rss]

The gun itself doesn't hold 200 rounds. Here, read this.

So to allow friendlies to resuply the PTRD gunner would actually be realistic as the 200 14,5mm rounds were carried by the AT-team and not just the AT-gunner - sounds fair to me.

 

[snakedude24]

Yeah, but in real life, did soldiers carry ammo for the PTRD?
