German AT-rifle MPZB 41

[Susi]

So what is mPzB 41, and why you havent heard it before.
Well its AT-rifle made by Czech manufacturer Brno.
Ordered by Waffen-SS, but canceled because it didnt
had good enough armor penetration capability.

I hope i'm wrong and Wilsonam comes to tell me
how it was used in Stalingrad.

But i have bad feeling that we are speaking about
kind of non existing weapon.

But why they didnt choose Solothurn?
Ya, i know its heavy and not so easy to move.
But it was used by germans in front line and
its quite equal with PTRS-41

.......................PTRS-41..... Solothurn S-18/100
100m/90 deg ..30mm ........35mm
300m/90 deg ..27,5mm .....27mm
500m/90 deg ..25mm ........23mm

And yes, i'm quite sure its sPzB 41.
349 of them were made in 1941 and 1030 in 1942.

What game is that screenshot from?

A game called Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad. You might have heard of it.

 

[jinnwarior]

wait, what? Kar98 with 71 round drum mag?

Watch the video, he explains it.

 

[I Faw Down]

wait, what? Kar98 with 71 round drum mag?

They said it was a mistake in the video.

Looking at these bonuses I have a feeling a good amount of the old school RO guys are gonna want to play without them.

Hopefully there are enough aesthetic bonuses to the ranking as well so those guys aren't totally left out.

 

[Mormegil]

Could be a typo.

First pistol on the list is an "M1985" - weapons from the future!

 

[Susi]

Could be a typo.

What kind of typo?

sPzB 41 is kind of light anti tank gun, im quite sure
they arent icluding that at least as a role selected.

Other possibilities are Pzb39 and Pzb38, but trying to
write Pzb39 and getting mPzb 41 is almost impossible.

And yes mPzb 41 makes sense from game play point of view
as Pzb38 and 38 are under powered against tanks, and
Solothurn is double times heavier than PTRD. So they
choosed mPzb 41 which could be equal with PTRD expect
there is only prototypes/fieldtesting units existing. And it was used by
Waffen-SS, and even those which existed were removed from front 1942.

So if mkb 42 is like super rare, mPzb is like super ultra rare.

 

[Alvin Fuchs]

There shouldn't be any sort of "weapon balancing". The Germans don't need something to compete with a PTRD, they had there own weapons that they used in much greater numbers.

Just as long as I get my steilhandgranate bootlaced to a teller mine, I'm happy.

So if mkb 42 is like super rare, mPzb is like super ultra rare.

Well you know... if there was "one" there it's worth including...

Ehm....PTRS is totally wrong....

It's

100m/90 deg 40mm
300m/90 deg 35mm
500m/90 deg 25mm

 

[Tank!]

Susi I suggest that you double check the Solothurn S-18/100 as some put it at 35 mm at 300 meters at zero degrees.

 

[Nicholas]

What is it with RO2 and super rare weapons? This is supposed to be a military simulation, not some spy game.

I too would like some input from Mr. Wilson.
