2.8 cm sPzB 41 better choice than panzerschrecks
« on: April 27, 2011, 12:45:43 PM »
hey guys,
you have created some awesome mod

what you think about to use the 2.8 cm schwere PzB 41 as an alternative for schrecks. every german faction is running around with panzerschrecks.

schwere PzB 41 was mainly used by gebirgsjäger, paratroppers and sappers.

it could be the main anti-tank weapon for the infantry in the early game.

Doesn't really look like an analogue to the panzerschreck. The wiki page does say that it was used on the eastern front from start to finish though, and it does look intriguing. It says that although it had a carriage it could be manipulated manually, so it would be unique in CoH, though probably hard to animate and integrate.

my idea was to use this as an early anti-tank weapon or maybe as a support anti tank weapon. panzerschrecks should be also avaliable for the ostheer.

it's a gun on wheels while panzerschreck is carried by soldiers. OH already has pak40 as an anti-tank gun. so replacing schreck with it doesn't make sense.
would be a nice thing to be called-in by gebirgsjaeger though ;)
Jagd[tiger] is a buildable replacement for the Kettenkrad... It can cloak and cap points. :P

I still hope they won't be handling a quarter-ton weapons like panzershrecks.  ::)
