I can see CODguys logic
If anyone remembered shrek and zook snipes were removed from the game because in the devs view AT squads shouldn't be dealing AI damage...
So why do penals and pgrens keep SVTs and StGs after upgrading to their AT package? This is more of an issue in 4vs4 where a small AT blob can win infantry engagements vs a normal squad or two.
If anyone struggles vs schreck/ptrs blob or any sort of anti-tank blob, then they must be really terrible at the game
