At the moment, these weapons are available to both british and american infantry. They have very poor penetration against Wehr but do exceedingly well versus PE minus the P4 IST, Panther, Hetzer, and Jag. Overall, they are a fairly cost effective purchase so long as you know when to call them in and how to use them.

My concern is in regards to their ability to easily counter weapon crews namely PAKS and FLAKS. They take 3-6 volleys to kill either of these weapons making them cost effective pretty quickly. On top of their other light AT capacities, this puts them way over the top.

The only other handheld AT weapon capable of doing this is the Airborne RR rifle. In contrast, these rifles are 180 munitions but can also fight all forms of armor as opposed to just light armor.

My recommendation, find a way to reduce the damage or accuracy of these weapons versus guns if possible, but maintain their current light AT capabilities. If this is not a possible solution, a price increase ought to occur.

The problem is that they can kill an 88 in two seconds and a pak in less than that.

I also think that they are too expensive unless they are used for this exact purpose.

They are very expensive, so unless you use them extremely well or use them to destroy paks they will never make up for their cost.

I just think they are a little too expensive that's all.

No, most PE vehicles are faster and have longer range than AT rifle squads

But I don't wanna start a whole balance discussion on something I don't think is broken. Then again most handheld AT is expensive, it's a shame too, you rarely see a grenadier with a shreck anymore.

Ok, so which PE vehicles are effective against infantry and have longer range than AT rifles?

The Armoured Car?

That's pretty much the only one I can think of.

I did not say effective btw.

Armored car
Mortar
50mm
LATH
Scout Car
Infantry Halftrack

Pretty much every vehicle is faster and has longer range. So unless they sit in a building you can usually get away without a scratch.

The infantry halftrack and scout car don't have a much longer range but they can suppress.

If the rifles get into 35 range (both range and sight of the ATR squad, and sight of all of the units you listed) - NONE of those vehicles is capable of reversing back out before the rifles pop off a volley. Unless of course, the vehicle was moving backwards in the first place.

IHTs do not properly suppress at anything beyond short range and the Scour Car can not move if it wishes to suppress.
