Why are PIAT's wiping infantry squads?

[Badass_Ben]

Straight up acting like constant, free, rifle grenades.

And why are Germans getting them?

Its the Grantabuechse 39, an AT Rifle that propels AT hollow shaped charges for use against Tanks. But in this game its used against infantry.

There existed a variant of that weapon that fired standard rifle grenades instead of AT rounds, which the game's GrB 39 is likely based on.

Everything is "free" when it's being deployed against you and you're losing in the game.

He means the german grenade launcher but since you guys didnt play coh2 you dont realize the symbol is a PIAT lmao

There are no PIATs in the game.
German factions use regular anti-infantry grenade launchers.

oh 3x of them and you need a blob enemy to make it work
I though you just 1 piat and auto click win.

there have no auto click win. COH3 mostly need to play blob or spam cheap units.

Tl;Dr, the "PIAT" icon is one of quite a few(?) placeholders.

I dont know,
why are the bazooks free for the USA and not for the germans ?

Think about what a-symmetrical balance is.

Could be worse, the Black Prince doesn't even have the correct model. It's a Churchill VII.

I can assure you the PIAT from COH2 could do a lot of tank damage. Just tested the german pioneer grenade launcher upgrade with DAK and it hardly scratched the paint on a light stuart tank, if at all.

Don't bother arguing about balance issues on this board anymore.
Everyone's so biased (and by everyone I mean 90% of axis players here)

That in itself is biased.

If you believe that majority of Axis players are one-sided/close-minded thinkers. Then all I can say is you're proving to yourself that you're unwilling to acknowledge/theorycraft/understand any points made.

Is that supposed to reinforce anything said?

Seriously. If you believe the [key word: majority] of Axis players are unwilling to discuss balance on a semi-unbiased view. You're very likely to be those on the Allies side are exactly the same.

-

You'd be the better person if you actually went out of your way to argue against a point and showed to other people that Axis players do not know what they're talking about - Instead of making fun of said players for not saying anything you agree with.

You can call this biased as you wish. But I have yet to have an Allied player actually argue their points beyond an overly-biased view, even when presented with (real) counter-evidence.

Just saying. If we're gonna pretend to know something, then could people on the forums just not gatekeep information? The forums are here for a reason, discussion. Please do argue with Axis players and educate them what is correct (if its truly a wide-spread issue). These insult wars are only so interesting.

Not pseudo-statistics, hyperbole.

Inevitably, all statements and opinions must be biased to some degree. It's a simple consequence of biology and physics.

Nonetheless, (in my experience) blanket statements like "this group of people is x" constitute nothing short of a fallacy.

And if you want to get really esoteric, which might have nothing to do with this thread, there's no such thing as 'groups' in reality - they are just social constructs.
