I just had a Hetzer survive something like five rounds from a Bazooka at 50-60 meters. I was astonished and rather pissed off. Upper Hull hit, no damage. Arg!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

You've gotta remember that the bazooka is significantly smaller diameter (60mm) than a panzerschreck (88mm) or a panzerfaust (not sure, but >88mm). With a shaped charge, bigger is definitely better. And, of course, that Hetzer front upper hull armor is tilted back at 60 degrees.

Basically, a panzerfaust is in the same "one hit, one kill" category as the 88L71 gun, but with a much shorter range; the bazooka is pretty similar to a Sherman's short 75. Panzerschreck is somewhere in between (75L70 or 88L56?). All of this is probably off a little bit, as I don't have the game open right now...
