Panzerschreck sucks

[Billaud-Varennes]

In reality:

-The backblast of a firing Panzerschreck rocket launcher was so violent that a lane of approximately 100 metres had to be clear of any friendly forces.

-The Panzerschreck could essentially not be fired from within a building since the backblast would badly injure or kill anybody inside the room, including the firer.

Now my suggestions:
Any players close behind a firing Panzerschreck should be killed, ones further away should get injured/ suppressed. I think this would add a layer of tactical depth to using this weapon. Perhaps one could even make the backblast deadly for everybody within a room where its fired from, which would essentially only make it usable in open terrain.

This disadvantage over the bazooka could be balanced by making the Panzerschreck have greater penetrative capabilities. At this point, the Panzerschreck is way less powerful than its real counterpart was in real life anyhow. (150mm-220mm of armour could be pierced, easily enough to one-shot shermans from the front) The title is just clickbait btw thanks for reading through my post.
TL,DR make the Panzerschreck kill tanks easier but make it dangerous to its users

i hope they get changed with the ballistics overhaul, and im sure they will, these devs are pretty damn good

shrek already has greater penetration, faster travel speed, and higher range

I doubt you couldn´t fire the Panzerschreck from a house. You can fire the modern Panzerfaust 3 from a house and it has a much bigger caliber. You just have to look there is nobody behind you and the room has to big enough for it. You can even shoot AT Rockets from rooms, when there is a second window in it. So it is definitely possible to fire the Panzerschreck out of buildings.
The backblast for it is not bigger then 40m where you can get injured. The backblast is within a few meters deadly. Putting it on 100m is way too oversized. But introducing the backblast and a need for checking for objects and soldiers at the backblast zone for Panzerschreck and Bazooka would be nice.

If someone told me I had to use a shoulder mounted panzerschreck and it had a 100 metre back blast cordon I would be VERY hesitant about pulling the trigger.

In my mind I would be thinking this is the last thing I will ever do while owning skin.

"Hey new guy, come over here a second. Dude, I'll load it, you fire it"......see ya!!

[Oberst Klink]

Then somebody told you wrong, the backblast zone for Panzerfaust 3 is just 5m (people would get killed and there should be nothing behind you) and the zone where nobody should be bc you could get injured is 40m this is not very different from the Panzerschreck.
There can be objects in you backblast zone, but they have to be 2m away so you don´t get injured.

i can't feel the "higher penetration" inside the Game tho - doesnt even killa Sherman if u shoot his Ass - need 2 shots.

[FailedNormiee]

yea just what i want for immersion, some ♥♥♥♥♥ running in front of me just to tk me with his back blast. I have a buddy that would do this, I can already imagine.

its a game dont add "realism" that makes the game annoying to the players.

Realism makes many games better. RO2 was one of the best games i ever played bc of its optimum between realism and unrealistic but optimizing the fun and gameplay. There are enough CoD or Battlefield like huge unrealistic games. Would be sad if HLL would become one of these.

It’s already going down that path currently so we’ll see what decisions the devs make next.

you're confusing penetration for damage

Panther armor 80mm angled = ~110mm.
Tiger 110 mm.
Btw sherman shooted from rear side or back...do FLAMES....and burn all the crew..Historical..
Garant default...higher 100m...he do no damages..Historical...japan can protected with paper armor...so pen steel helmet to 250m is a joke!.
The 30/30 caliber is good to hunt a roe to 50meters

The amount of rubbish you managed to fit into a single paragraph lmao, both the Tiger & Panther can definitely be penetrated by a 76mm frontally.

Also the Garand was an excellent rifle, and would certainly have no issue going through a helmet, You do understand helmets are not made to stop bullets right?

Theoretically M93 HVAP ammo could penetrate frontal armor of Tiger , but in reality they almost never did because German tank Commanders were smart enough to angle front of their tanks in such way to bounce most of the shells coming from the front.

If you can kill someone by backblast of a firing Panzerschreck at 100 mt is better start use to the other side, will be more deadly than get hit by the rocket
It was problematic to fire the weapon from inside closed spaces (such as bunkers or houses), because filling the room with toxic smoke and revealing the firing location immediately to the enemy. Sure if you stay close to the back you will have some injure but i don't think it could have effect at more than 5mt the rocket is selfpropelled don't release all the power inside the tube.
