Still one of the things that makes me wonder in this forum. No one seems to distiguish between the Panzerfaust 30, 60 and 100.
With the Panzerfaust 30 its quite a mess, its armor penetration which iirc was the same as the other Panzerfausts should enable it to kill a Sherman to the front. But it cant.
The Panzerfaust 100 and 60 on the other hand kill shermans to the front with ease.
I know the Panzerfaust 30 has problems killing Shermans to the side quite often. Though I dont know if its just because
1.) of the added tracks I might hit on normandy Shermans or the reinforced armor plates where the ammo is stored.
2.) The M4A1 shermans (with its rounded casted hull) are buggy sometimes, its seems to me like that for quite a while now. Hitboxes might be odd becouse of the rounded shape.
3.) or because the Panzerfaust 30 just deals not enough damage.
I have to say since the Panzerfaust 60 has been added it NEVER had any problems. If you dont oneshot Shermans with it. I d say check the usual things: Angel you shot the tank. If shoting from behind did you hit the turret? -> Not one shot.
Or was it maybe a Jumbo and you didnt hit the tracks?
From further distances when you hit the top of the turret or the enigine deck of a Sherman they sometimes arent knocked out, no major flaws.
An other thing with all Fausts are the enigen decks of M10, M36 and Achilles. It appears to me that when hit on this spot they often dont explode.
Panzerschreck.......... well . a BIG mess, really big mess since 2.45.
I still think it should be able to one shot a Sherman to the front, but it couldnt in 2.4
But know with 2.45 killing a Sherman from behind with it is not possible.
I can kill a Shermy with a Pz faust easily from the back or sides.
The Panzerschreck is the one thats bugged
Yeah, since last patch (or myabe 2.4) panzershreck is also sometimes buggy...
its that bad since 2.45 and I wouldnt call this a bug some stats must have been changed for those results.
