Germans should have the faustpatrone for early war maps, while russians should have PTRD's and anti-tank grenades.

Germans should have the faustpatrone for early war maps, while russians should have PTRD's and anti-tank grenades.

Faustpatrone production:
1943-1945

So it is a mid to late war weapon. This peticular weapon because of its odd shaped warhead had a tendency to deflect off sloped armor. This was later fixed on later models.

range:30m (100 ft.)
penetration:140mm (5.5 in.)

Development of the Faustpatrone started in the summer of 1942 at the German company HASAG with the development of the smaller forerunner-prototype called "Gretchen" ("Little Gretel") by a team headed by Dr. Heinrich Langweiler in Leipzig.

We should atleast have it for 1942 maps.

Keep reading heres the second part:

Other designations of this weapon were Faustpatrone 1 or Panzerfaust 30 klein; however, it was common to refer to this weapon simply as the Faustpatrone. 20,000 were ordered and the first 500 Faustpatronen were delivered by the manufacturer, HASAG Hugo Schneider AG, Werk Schlieben, in August 1943.

Development is not deployment.

Thats with different rare ammuntion is it not?
I got my numbers from: Zaloga, Steven J. and Ness, Leland S.: Red Army Handbook 1939-1945.

100m: 35mm at 0 degrees.

 

[[TW]schneidzekk]

No, regular Ammo. But as ususal, sources differ.

 

[Maus]

Panzerbuesche 39 at 0 degrees:

100m: 34mm
300m: 29mm
500m: 14mm

Now it is getting funny. PzB 39 outperforms a Solothurn. Not bad.

P.S.: This thread is about RPGs.

I think although Im not sure of this the PTRD was based off the German ATR( both 39 and 38 had the same penetration) design. I am pretty sure the PTRD had 2 different ammo types i will look that up later.

P.S.: This thread is about RPGs.

Jawohl! The Soviet RPGs 40 and 43 would be a great add to the game thanks for posting this thread and for the detailed information.

-Happy Thanksgiving everybody-

And of course, the germans used AT grenades as well.


Panzerhandgranaten 41

Panzerwurfmine and the Panzerwurfmine Kz

although, AT grenades were very impractical... and i hope they won't become some super weapon in game.

 

[Isaak Johnson]

I hope they won't become some super weapon in game.

If they are implemented properly, they should be far more valuable to use against tanks than infantry, and they should also require a fair, but noticable amount of effort to use properly.

 

[Field Marshal Rommel]

I hope they won't become some super weapon in game.

If the Ba-64 *(clowncar) is kept undercontrol I dont think they will become super weapons. Anyone know the Soviet AT grenade armor penetration?

* I have learned to fear the meer sight of it for it can carry soviet soldiers with PFs,satchels,or PTRDS or all of them at once.

RPGs would be a very good supplement for the PTRDs. The PTRDs would be good for engaging vehicles at a distance while the RPGs can be used for more close range encounters.

Why Stielhandgranate 24 calls "39" maybe it mixed up with Eihandgranate 39?

P.S. also there is a wrong font on the grenade body.

 

[kapulA]

A wrong font?
And besides,there was a 24 and 39 model of the Sthngrnd...

 

[Catalyst]

stielhandranate mod. 39 - smoke grenade, and calls "nebelhandgranate 39"

original font:

[Catalyst]

yes, it's Eihandgranate 39. But most usual, cap is blue - for 4.5 sec. latency.

(red - 1 sec, yellow - 7.5 sec and grey - 10 sec.)
