General Discussion / Panzerschreck

Hi all,
Like most of you I'm having great fun with the new patch. I was playing around with the panzerfausts and boy they did feel powerful, blowing up shermans now in 1 shot as long as the angle is right.
When I started on the German side on Lebisey I managed to grab a schreck and went out to ambush some shermans. I hit one on the frontal hull armor, it survived and blew me up. I went back to grab a new schrek, hit a second sherman on the side turret, no kill. Grabbed a schreck again and the situation repeated. So 3 schreck hits, no shermans killed and I gave up.
A test on a local server confirmed the panzerschreck does less damage than the panzerfaust. They only 1 hit kill on the hull side and hull rear. This might purely be a balance thing as in real life the schreck has similar penetration. Now as the panzerschreck is only available as pickup kit I think it shouldn't be nerfed. With 200mm penetration a hit on a sherman at a good angle should always kill it, or you end up dying. (if you have more information feel free to prove me wrong)
What do you guys think about this, needed balance or should this be fixed? Maybe the range can be decreased a bit instead!
