Distance with Rocket Launchers?
« on: 02-07-2010, 04:07:01 »
The PIAT is the most effective AT weapon in my opinion. It comes with lots of ammo and it's easy to use, mostly due to this: it has distance marked. If I see a tank some fifty metres away, I know which hole to aim through. The Panzerfaust is a little more cumbersome but still has that 30M assurance. The 'zooks and 'schrecks are where I have my doubts. Could someone tell me what distances the three notches on the bazooka imply? What about the panzerschreck? I conducted a brief google search (shame on me :-X) with no results.

you dont need to use those anymore with bazooka /schreck

in 2.26 the rocket AT weapons were changed
they now fire pretty straight forward  but have bigger deviation on bigger distances.

so if you are lucky you can hit a tank 100m away and the next rocket aimed exactly at the same tank same spot will miss the tank by 10m or something.

so the closer you are with bazooka/schreck  the bigger your hit chance but it is possible to hit from far distance

I think the notch for the shreck marked 120m and the marks on the zook were 100, 200 and 300m.  Ingame its a bit shorter.

yeah I liked it because the rounds don't go straight...that means you don't need a clear path to hit the enemy.

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.

sure everyone can take a faust
the skill is to sneak up on its flank and not get killed while trying to the as close as 30m
and i still sometimes overshoot or undershoot targets since the ballistic of that thing is, well ballistic :D

easiest is most likely the bazooka, since it shoots rather straight and doesn't have the view obstructing shield like the schreck

True that.

And the faust, MY god, you can kill half your squad with it if it decides to...go along with you to kill that tank..

Another BIG advise is to WATCH out where you fire. Since 2.26 the Zook and Shreck have been fantastic to use...but OH SO dangorous for your teammates.

sometimes if I am not needed to combat some infantry threat/cap some flag I'll go as close to the target with my faust as possible... I just don't want it to miss/hit stupid places. (and thus I got blew up)


Fausts could be really useful if you know how to hit moving targets that are really 30m away... But still you can only kill one tank.

but you are more guaranteed you will kill that one tank. The chances of retaliation is MUCH smaller then the PIAT and Bazooka

Just about everyone who plays on public FH2 servers.
