Historical accuracy- PIAT and Panzerschreck

[signal pumice]

The Piat was Produced in 1943 and the El Alamein take plase in 1942 my suggestion is to remove the Piat from the loadout from the 8th Army and move the Boys anti-tank rifle to the level 1 loadout also it could be used for the Fins and in the Winter War. The Panzerschreck is the samething as the piat it was made in 1943 a replacement could be a Panzerbüchse 39 AT rifle

Yes

Kinda worried it will turn into the same situation with the soviets and how bad their AT equipment is. They could maybeee get the m1 bazooka as ik it was supplied to the Brits in North Africa, if it was the same time as El Alamein, idk

[wanton kettle]

no the point is on el alamien no one has rocket launches, not the brits or the germans. I think it would be an interesting change that makes tanks more powerful on that map.
I would even say to do the same for maps on the eastern front, the lend lease bazooka to me feels like a band aid fix for poor balancing, even being historically accurate to some extent
an extra bonus could be adding AT grenades, we're getting the gammon bomb for the brits so why not the AT grenades for the germans and soviets too
and I'd even say give molotovs a bit of AT capability though weak on their own, stronger when combined with multiple

Agreed. Calling the Bazooka for the Soviets historically accurate is very much a stretch though. If you dig through the sources regarding lend lease bazookas, you'll find that they had like 2-300 across the entire front and actually more tubes than rockets to fire. So uh...yeah. They did however use a bunch of other lend lease stuff, mainly vehicles and other supplies.

I do believe the soviets got things lend leased by the US for a while, I dont think they used them too much though but idk :p

[hallow egret]

I totally agree, probably stolen panzerfaus/panzershreck where more often

[neat turret]

The Bazookas were practically never used. The Soviets got plenty of American trucks and western tanks that they used to a decent amount

[half plaza]

there were more bazookas sent to the russians then there were rockets to use with them.
