I like that concept. Maybe the tank hunter squad can have an extra ability like the Panzerfaust or an anti-tank rifle grenade.

The thing is, unlike the PTRS which was actually able to threaten SOME tanks on the side, the pzbusche was pretty much abandoned since it sucked.

A dedicated call in AT squad with Panzerbuchse and snare.

The British Sniper meets Jägers?

The total removal or strict limitation of shrecks is a given. Maybe this week or the week after.

Of course it would suck. The tanks were getting more armor and in Theater of War, the Panzergrenadiers were going up against T-34 hordes and the KV-1.

Then why suggest it considering OKW is the 1944 Western Front armies? Volksgren's chance of having that AT rifle is significantly lower than a Panzerfaust or Panzershreck.

Still see Guards and Conscripts walking around with pretty much the same thing eh? I do agree with AchArcher that an anti tank squad with them can work like the AT Inf Sec.

the soviet did actually issue their troops with PTRD up to the end of the war as they didn't have anything better. Their infantry anti-tank weapon and towed-anti tank gun were generally the worst in the war although they make up for it by having a crapload of tanks.

on the other hand the german ditch their panzerbusche fairly fast and switch to panzerfaust.

Instead of panzerbusche (that seams out of place) volks could get Panzerfaust (or even a previous version of the panzeshreck...) upgrade that would work differently.

Instead of an MU ability is would be an upgrade that would allow V.Gs to fire a PFasut every 10-15 sec. either automatic vs vehicle or as an ability, stat could be around 45 range, 120 penetration, 80 damage no engine damage.

Ober should in this case be built from HQ unlocked after second truck and cost less.
