Gebalte ladungs (the ones you mention) wherent really very effective against medium tanks

They could maybe kill a crusader when it was placed on top, but thats really it
These things where designed to damage tanks, like blowing off their tracks and such

But very surprisingly is that I got blew up by one green box of death.

Yeah, but the green box is basically a satchel charge and probably just as powerful, although it is indeed also called a Geballte Ladung. I was talking about the bundled grenade variant, where the name actually makes sense being that "geballte" means something along the lines of "bundled up/together". :)

I think because that box exploded above my tank, so it is a top hit and my Sherman is dead immediately.

The holes have distances marked next to them. So guess/gauge the distance to target, look through the corresponding hole and let it spring!
FH2 is the game, DarklyDreamingDexter is the name.

I'm not sure, the PIAT might have the distance marked in feet rather than metres.

the distance is in YARDS (so you can use meters too since it is almost the same)

however it is scaled ingame by the factor 2.

so if you aim through the 50yard hole (if there is one i am not sure) it will fire ~25m far.

PIAT is a skill-required weapon.  Noobs in FH2 dont know how to use it. But one skilled person with a PIAT can ruin an entire armoured column

My record stands at 6 tanks in one game=2 tigers, 1 panther and 3 panzers IV on Villers-bocage
Everyone can take a faust and kill a sherman. PIAT is for the skilled.
Pfft, PIATs are eaaasy. You just have to look through the holes and compensate the distance. Otherwise, they dont require much skill.

Piat deserves to be killed with fire....I hate it when one infantry guy uses it as a FatMan from Fallout 3 to cause mayhem...This weapon should fired only on the ground i say.

In reality, Faust and PIAT have same range. Its just, the PIAT had all its range sights modelled to use and the Faust didn't. Neither are hard to use though. Neither are EXTREMELY hard to aim properly for a first shot hitting.

Huh? You do know that Panzerfaust in mod atm is Panzerfaust 30? As it's name tells its range was about 30 meters. The model is correct.

In terms of armor penetration it is the weakest. This is what i meant

Then faust should also and zooka and rifle grenades and ........so on

anti tank system in FH 2 is allied biased anyway
Panzerfaust 30 vs bazookas and piats.
Maybe they are not as strong as panzerfaust, but therefore you have more then one shot, and they shoot farer.

And dont blame the game that the allies didnt give their tanks skirts.

the AT system is allied biased to counter the tank system being axis biased!

About the geballteladungs:

I was playing with some fellow F|H members on operations cobra as Germans, now comes the fun part:
We 2 were teaming up with engineers kits and geballte ladungs and would hide in the bushes at farm (pretty open), as soon any tank would come by we would both get up and start running while already deploying the geballte ladungs, we would drop it and run back to the place we were laying. 2 seconds later the tanks would be destroyed.

This tactic was effective but also very fun and entertaining to do with 2 persons.  ;)
