I knoaw wahat im gettang!

No, it doesn't. Only FG42s and Fallschimjager K98s do.

Is that hardcoded? What about other weapons, lmgs, brens, RRs?

[brn4meplz]

From what i understand it's almost like a list that each weapon has to be individually added to. I'm of the belief that Allied droppable weapons should be affected by it, but Not the Axis schrek. First off, 1 is significantly harder to gain then the other. When it comes down to it though you don't want FSJ schreks doing 360 dmg to tanks. Thats why there is a Tank destroyer doctine.

FSJ are still primarily ambush and anti infantry, so changing an attribute that affects this role is pretty easy from a flavour standpoint. making it wtf rape tanks is nother thing entirely

falls are basically the anti infantry paratrooper.. Ambush should probably only effect any anti infantry weapon they can pick up in the course of the game.

at least from my perspective.

As of 2.500 Fallschirmjager fausts can get ambush bonuses. They changed ambush a wee bit, keeping the exact modifiers but reducing the shot-count from 4 to 1 (major nerf.) The tradeoff is that Fallschirmjager can sorta move while cloaked; when AI pathing determines to move a squad member who is cloaked, he will not uncloak unless he exists cover (but AI pathing likes cover.)
The other part of this is that Panzerfausts can now be fired while cloaked; as before, the instant a Fallschirmjager moved he uncloaked, and Fausts often move the firing Soldier a pace forward. But now AI pathing does not disable cloak, so the Faust gets a minor bonus (1.25x damage.)
