 Is there any intention from the dev team to improve upon the selction of German anti tank hand weapons?

 Most notably the Hafthohladung and perhaps the Panzerwurf minen.


In the game there is currently an abundance of British anti tank grenades (rifle grenades, sticky bombs, thermo grenades) but nothing for the Germans to use apart from the Gebalte ladung 3 kg and the Gebalte grenade.

I agree it would be nice to see some more variety but I think it's far from priority. Anyone know when this grenade saw service? It will obviously make it to Normandy but was it around in Africa yet?

Don't know when it was introduced IRL but it is currently in 2.15 in pickup kits on several maps.

As usual guys, just be patient. There are some toys that you haven't seen yet.

how you get to that conclusion ?

well i think at least 1 thing is still in work and who knows if it will ever see ingame action.

the most usual handheld AT weapons are the panzerfaust you will see a lot of them. in (early) normandy only the 30m version + the occasional panzerschreck pickupkit.
later there will be panzerfaust 60m and 100m.

We don't have any more anti-tank handgrenades on our to-do list at the moment. With the PIAT, Bazooka, Panzerfaust 30 and Panzerschreck there really isn't any need for them.

i dont think you will see the "mini nukes" in normandy.

only thing that could make sense is the hotchkins mine/grenade
the rest is pretty much covered by the weapons we got  as lightning said
each side gets his "ranged" AT weapon and some kind of explosive.
