Why is it only axis that can faust buildings?

It gives good xp to the infantry, so allies should be able too well!

Why is that a problem?

The only less efficient use for muni is dropping offmaps on your own troops.

I had a game where my vet 0 grenadier fausted an usf bunker twice and got vet 1 because of that, allies need that as well.

well for one Sturm should not be able to kill USf emplacements with small arms thats just kind of silly, 2 sturms behind a usf emplacement can drop it rather fast. Its not like this happens a lot but it can make it rather easy and quick for okw to destroy emplacements especially when they have little risk using their at gun to attack it thanks to the crew being super bullet dodgers and retreat

One game I had a teamate that used some UKF arty (it was like the rail artillery) and he's blobbing around the target area fighting, one of the shells comes down and eliminates his own entire blob, he had 0 units left! Rage quit of course, lmao

This is simply not true, small arms damages the fighting position

Huh I know small arms damage the fighting position and they shouldnt, Sturms at close range can destroy the fighting position with just small arms. Thats dumb and makes no sense small arms cant damage a bunker.

It would be like allied infantry destroying bunkers if they flanked it with thompsons

lmao you think that is plausible to do? flanking a fighting position with sturm squad or 2 highly feasible, the bunkers suppress pretty quickly and .50 i dont believe out ranges it to do it from the front

Why is this hard to grasp? Anything the .50 can do the mg42(vet1) can do better. It's just penetration, maybe one of the stat monkeys will come in here and prove it with numbers. For best results get to close range and activate armor piercing on the .50 or rainbow rounds on the mg42. The .50 needs 2 activations iirc. MG42 might be able to do it in 1 activation. MG34 has rainbow rounds too, right? DSHK might do something but regular sov hmg will take 10 min(I'm sure it will still work). Not sure about vickers, I think it can go fuck itself too for 10 minutes.

Is it plausible to do? YES! I've been doing it quite a bit in team games when I drive off enemy forces after flanking the emplacement.

while it could as well be removed , what is the problem ? panzrfaust does 100 damage and nades does 80 , if u are using it vs bunkers pen does not matters so u can just chuck nades too , u lose 20 damage but it has more range + arc if u want to see cons and pros vs bunkers

The .50 cal has 1 real advantage over MG42, Pack up and placement speed. Its a HUGE difference being changed this patch.

I destroyed a bunker with .50 this morning. 1 burst of ap rounds dropped something like 30% of the bunker health at point blank. That bunker was gone real damn quick. This fucked up game is so stupid sometimes, you can destroy a bunker with a machine gun faster than launching mortars. So, we're going to have nerf ap rounds. Not the rainbow rounds though, don't want to make the game EVEN harder for axis. Just nerf the .50

Driving someone off a position happens. I do actually win battles, even if I get pwned later for the game.
