DeutschRitter Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 As far I can see the russians do not have any anti tank capabilities like the Panzerfaust, Bazooka or Panzerschreck? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The Soviets didn't have similar type of weapon until the RPG-1. But they do have AT rifles, special AT hand grenades and I think it was mentioned that in the coming module there will be some Soviet PzFaust squads (using captured PzFausts). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Soviet Way! TBH I could have sworn I've seen Soviet units using Panzerfausts in CM:RT already, but I might just be having misty memories of long gone battles in CM:BB (which was a truly awesome game in it's breadth & scope). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymous_Jonze Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 You don't need a bazooka if you have 10 tanks in every scenario! They're getting panzerfausts for Fire and Rubble. I believe Elvis confirmed that...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeutschRitter Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Today I am playing a Quick Battle game against my brother and he will get some tanks in urban environment. So I need some good AT. Maybe I have to buy some panzers too then. How good is the AT weapon of the Russians against the Stummel Halftrack? Will it peetrate from a long distance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRs will give his light armour kittens. They’re cheap and will take out a 251/9 or any 251 or 250 track at around 300m. Us even in groups though. they’re not so great against tanks though but will help keep the tanks buttoned up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My typing is a bit crap. Meant use em in groups. At worse they’ll take out ant crew popping their heads up causing the vehicle crew to reverse out of trouble. Great investment! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Yes - but more easily spotted there. Keeping em at their maximum effective range and in natural cover is a more effective option I’ve found. Others might have a different take though oh have en with other infantry as well to deter the enemy sending in dismounts to flush em out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little 45mm AT gun was pretty mean too, but I'm not sure it's quite as mobile in CM as it was in real life. 41 minutes ago, DeutschRitter said: Are they able to shoot out of a building? Oh yes.

Ts4EVER Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The Russian equivalent of the bazooka was the 45mm AT gun attached down to platoon level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 RPG 6 was the last of the Soviet AT hand grenades and was the common method to fight German armor for the infantry. Fot urban combat it had a good reputation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hand-thrown RPG-43 is in the game and its mixed in with 'grenades' in infantry units (Its a bit annoying that it doesn't get its own weapons slot.) Its able to penetrate 75mm of armor so its capable of knocking out some pretty big beasts. It was used by the Chinese in the Korean war. There's a modern equivalent named RKG-3 that saw limited use in Iraq. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckdyke Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 You can also commit suicide with hand grenades including anti-armor grenades. That's if your position is being overrun. A very versatile weapon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
