oddbod Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 hi.. newbie here, coupla email games under my belt and leaning (the hard way) two things do my head in... 1, LOS... but thats for a new thread once I have done more research. tho main one is antitank teams. theres noting on these boards,nor in the documentation that I can find, about what they do, or how. what I do know is that you can sit outside a settlement in a stug, merrily bashing away.. and at 100m an antitank team lobs something 100m and you're dust... how come? they aint got bazookas, it WAS them, who can throw a rucksack that far? I am sure theres a good expanations for this... but I cannot find it thanks an aside.. whats the best squad held AT? weapon.. panzershrek (late), zook (late) or piat? I played the brits in the arnhem one on CMBO and a piat team zapped a stug on the other side of the river... at least thats what i thought as noone else could reach. great game this, even I am no good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Anti tank team? as in tank hunters? The German magnetic mines or wurfmines go a good 50m, and the Soviet RPGs (anti-tank grenades) go about as far. Bazookas, PanzerShreks and PIATs all reach out ~200m. `zooks, 'shreks and PIATs aren't squad weapons, but two man team weapons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aco4bn187inf Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 What you were facing there, Oddbod, was the Soviet ampulomet team. The game shows them as "antitank team" when you spot them. Max range 250 metres, I recall. They seem to miss their target pretty often, but they definately kill some tanks now and then. It launches molotov cocktails. I kind of like them because I never heard of them before I played CMBB. I think the Panzerschreck is the best infantry AT team, for range and killing power. The ultimate best is the Finnish 3 man Panzerschreck team- more survivable and carries more ammo! (I think the Germans only have 2 man teams) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebulon Pleasure Beast Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Rifle grenades? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobal2 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 AT rifles may also be shown as antitank teams, I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonxa Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Yup, I think rifle grenades have decent range, ~50 meters or so. At 100 meters it was probably a PIAT or zook who caught you. PIATs don't produce any smoke and have low velocity thus it might look as something being lobbed. Maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
