If you want to practise with the Faust 60/100. I advise you make a local server

Take the map meuse river, and go to german mainbase. Place Panthers and KT on various distances. Grab a hangomag for resupply, and start practising! The panthers and KT can take a hit or 2 -3. If you want a faust 100. it is in the mainbase somewhere.

Same can be done with the allies for Bazooka training M9. Grab the sherman jumbo's and M4A3. And a halftrack, and the same as above.

Did this.

Also made myself squadleader and put attack markers on the tanks I wanted to destroy.
That way, I could exactly see at which distance I was standing with my faust.

what I found out : the sights don't line up with the distance. Why is this?

[Ts4EVER]

Distance is halved ingame.

But dont get too close either. Yesterday I saw so many times someone take out a tank with a handheld AT-weapon and killing themselfs while at it.

In at least my case, this is intentional. In protest to how the recent introduction of anglemod has made Panzerfausts frequently not disable Shermans with a side/rear shot if there's even a slight angle, I've opted to use my 'faust as a lunge mine, sticking it right up the rear end of any ballsy Sherman.

Distance is halved ingame.

You mean the effective range of the weapons is decreased, or Battlefields "23m" or such attack markers are halved?

[Ts4EVER]

Effective range.

[SnakeTheFox]

Ehh, I can understand that perhaps on rifles and tank guns, but the faust (at least the 30m model) is already so limited in potential I think it's unnecessary to apply this rule to it, lest you apply it to equally short ranged weapons like hand-thrown grenades as well. Plus I now know I can chock up my many misses with the faust to that, considering I always aim for a tank that's 30m away and seem to undershoot it every time; and I'm sure a large portion of the community makes that same mistake. But that's just the opinion of one lowly user, I guess.

Yes it is your opinion. And one shared by others and one wich has been rejected in the past for a reason.

[kaminikaze]

Then why don't they just adjust the markings on the sights? Panzerfaust 30 = 30 metres marked on sight, eventhough the sight is calibrated at only 15 m. Why not put '15m' on it ? For realism's sake ?

I assume the same rules apply for PIAT ?
