Some guys already had the idea of giving the
Ostheer also a AT squad using guns compareable to the PTRD.
Because everyone liked these and they were a fresh idea,
eventually also because of their
coolness -
the Ostheer
should have its own compareable tank hunter.After all i came to the idea of giving the Ostheer a (i would
suggest early doctrinal) anti-tank-one-man-show. The
Tank Buster of the OstheerThe "Tank Buster" is a single unit compareable to a sniper,
using a very powerfull "Panzerbüchse" anti-tank rifle to
take out enemy tanks with precisional shots.
looks like fun?
The abilities of the Tank Buster would be ..- cloaking, just like a sniper
- treadbreaking ability, to let the emeys tanks stay were they
should (could be replaced by a motor damager)
in both cases the cooldown time would be enormous,
compareable to the one of the AT-halftrack of the PE.
- A phosphor-round, to take out enemy inf. or snipers,
as these were used in reality as well.
This soldier would be something new, and it would differ
from the existing units, making the ostheer even more unique.There were a lot of AT-rifles in use by the Wehrmacht during
the 2nd world war, also a lot of foreign rifles. Yet i dont know
which the best one to select:-
Panzerbüchse 38 or 39 The german anti tank rifles, smal caliber, but still very
good test results. (7,92mm)
-
Wz. Anti-tank-rifle Powerfull AT gun out of poland used by the germans
during the 2nd world war. (7,92mm)
-
Soluthurn S 18/1000 Huge gun out of the swizerland, prodoced for the wehrmacht
-> usually 2 guys were needed to carry it. (20mm)
-
Lathi L-39 The finnish AT beast, used during the winter war and
after it as well. Could be used as a finish call in as well.
But it was also very heavy. (20mm)
Which one would you prefer? Give me a reason why you prefer which long range combat weapon!
