Locksley Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hi Was trying out some of the different units I don't use very often the other day and came across the 88mm RW43 Puppchen. What is best used for and what is it? It seems to be some kind of rocket firing weapon. Ta Tom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Think of it as a Panzershrek mounted on wheels, but with more range and accuracy. It functions much like a recoiless rifle, but with an emphasis on AT defense. Its advantage is its small size, and the shape charge which does not lose its pentrative capability over distance. The downsize is the backblast which gives its position away. In the right terrain and conditions it could wreak havoc on an armored force, especially in the one-hit / one-kill enviroment of CMBO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a closed breech so no backblast AFAIK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
