After doing a bit of sniping with the PTRD the other day I was thinking it seems a little odd that being hit my a round that can punch through the plate on a Tiger and blow it up, does not turn infantry it hits into a fine red mist, or at least blows some limbs off.

Having had the unpleasant experience of seeing a man hit with a .50 cal, and the subsequent rapid removal of extremities that resulted in. I could claim realism as the main reason for wanting to see this in game. But if I'm totally honest I just think it would be hilarious in game, and would certainly encourage me to want to play Soviet Anti-Tank more.

My settings are on full gore. But to tell the truth I have never seen any body parts fly off, probably because I'm generally hitting things around 400-500m. I will have to go and inspect a few of my kills in future. :)

Thanks for the reply though guys.

Gotta love using that Ptrd on the motorcycle on a modified Arad map, all you need is one shot anywhere, unless your lagged. Nothing like making a bunch of Axis AT soldiers mad because you can aim and lead them.
