What happened to the Panzerfaust?

[Billaud-Varennes]

Its basically ununusable in urban terrain now. Tanks can ultra easily get out of sight with the ultra long aiming time. Combined with the cryptic sight lines in urban terrain this just doesnt work. If you want to nerf the axis please find another way because this just feels broken.

The Panzerfaust hasn't changed in any way since...pretty much the launch of the game. If you post a replay or video of it acting weird, we can see if it somehow bugged out, or if there's some other explanation (you can always use the LOS tool just outside a building to see what the unit garrisoned inside can see and shoot at.)

You both are right. Sometimes pzf has an age-long allignig time when the target is in LOS. I allso see this happens to other anti-tank launchers.

Hmm, I know that the *reloading* time of some bazooka-class weapons can take ages - even more so if your squad is close to panic - but the initial shot usually happens within 1 second of aiming, in my experience.

About reloading full agree. About initial shoot, sometimes it took age, maybe it is related to settings of some buildings models.

I mean you don't even reload a panzerfaust in the first place. You yeet the one you shot and take out the next.

It takes a while to unpack a panzerfaust IRL. That's why the aim time is several seconds.

unpack it from what? the amazon package? im pretty sure they had the panzerfausts ready as soon as they heard the tracks rattle

Get it off the shoulder and pull up the sights. A grenade is much quicker to use.

Yes, for whatever the reason Panzerfaust has a really long alignment time as if it is a full size anti tank gun. :(

The curious thing is that Panzerfaust used to be much more quicker.

If I am not mistaken, Panzerfaust started having issues right after 1st or 2nd history pass.

I noticed that infantry sometimes gets stuck when receiving new way point command perhaps two issues are related?

medium tanks tend to see your troop movement in 160M in light cover , in which if it was a sherman dont even think of using a panzerfuast on it in forest combat.

the panzerfuast is broken or glitched from release.

but the update they did which should have fixed the sights and recon, broke the optics and made units with thermal like view.

i feel like this is a complex issue. In my opinion, tanks and vehicles that get within faust range should almost insta die. especially from the flank. thats not really what happens in game. tanks react instantly, turn, and kill infantry far too easily, It makes infantry far weaker than they should be in towns and cities.

My best advice would be to throw a 15 infantry at the tank to get it to turn and gun them down, then move your 40 pt pnzrfaust unit into the flank.

i guess smoke helps too

If "Fury" is to be believed, Panzerfaust attacks are to be performed with Panzerfausts kept in their wooden crate, and carried up to 3m in front of the tank machine-guns before unpacking.

panzerfuast 60 , literally means 60 meters range
Fury , lets use it on 10 meters and still miss
