PIAT

[ForceEcho]

So the spring propelled PIAT, can fire 2 km distance. Lovely stuff chaps. This game is literally falling apart.

What? Who in hell is asserting it can?

It's not spring fired. It's a spigot mortar. There is a propellant charge there.

IRL 300m range and that's a push, in game can quadruple that

IRL, there were 3 ranges on the rear sight. 50, 80, 110 yards. You might be able to stretch it out a bit further than that.
But, reality was. You wanted to be 80 yards or less for good accuracy.
The extended range probably comes from it's use as a make shift light mortar.
You're not firing and hitting tanks at 300 meters.

Yeah so why can it shoot a few km in game, did you not read the thread?

The length of the whole map is 2km, you are suggesting the piat can shoot the whole length of the map without providing any evidence, its absolute BS. Get your facts right.

Ranged effective fire from the sights =/= max range.

It's like I'm dealing with a group of idiots here. That isn't the outcome being discussed Khuros, the issue is the utterly ridiculous projectile range.
