DLC Pacific : Running with AT Rifles

[Sogram]

Hi, I have noticed that during Pacific Campaign, tanks are VERY strong early as you have to be close to them to launch your AT grenade..
I think having AT rifles may be another excellent option as you would be able to deal some damage to tanks (probably less than AT grenades) but from a distance similar to any other rifles.
Such weapons would be Type 97 automatic cannon for IJA and Boys AT rifle for USMC.

Isn't Type 97 Anti-Tank Rifle[runningwithrifles.gamepedia.com] enough... 🙄

Oh, my bad, haven't yet seen it, playing a first USMC campaign ^^'
But Boys AT might still be a nice addition, such a weapon is really missing for USMC.

there are grenade launchers and anti tank launchers you can steal from the enemy, as well as a raw bazooka that a lot of us troops would carry. it may not be an option at the lower ranks but i would look out for it.

as well, the pacific radio artillery calls are much more savage than the vanilla game, from nearby warships with love lol.

edit: with more regard to the topic, maybe we can beg Pasik and Thesoldier for their time to model and insert the weapon. the boys rifle was a marked part of the arsenal for sure.

Type 97 Anti-Tank Rifle is way common, it's one of the so-called "rare" weapons in Pacific DLC, which means that both faction use it, you can find it either on a battlefield or by picking one dropped by a teammate died near you.
But in my opinion adding more similar weapons just to have them in game doesn't always make sense... I think Pacific has enough weapons but that's me, people often tend to request new stuff, no matter what.

Far as I'm aware, pasik has nothing to do with the Pacific's development, as it's a "baby" of The Soldier & Tremozl only.

I do the weapons :) the Boys AT was considered to be added at some point, but we are working on Edelweiss at the moment - it will likely be placed into the USMC once Edelweiss is out. (it will likely be a UKF weapon but we are aware that special Marine units made use of it early in the war.)

thank you for your answers! ( ^_^)／
