Fausts in rtcw are absurd. The weapon was designed to take out vehicles. How many tanks, half-tracks, self-propelled artillery, or armored cars do you see running around? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the faust was given only AP ammo, not HE or HEAT. Therefore these big area-of-affect blasts faust-rounds give off is unrealistic.

The American bazooka, on the other hand, was more designed for urban war-fare with HEAT rounds or plain HE rounds. It was also slow to fire, heavy and innacurate beyond 40-50 yards. The british PIAT was stupid from the start. Who is going to fire something with a spring for gods sakes?

RTCW should use the PIAT. It's affective range was about 12 yards (exageration). It's damage was probably equivelant to a grenade (but a shaped charge). I forget the actual statistics, but it was like 1 in 4 didn't fire because of a faulty spring mechanism, or that the concussion-capped tip wouldn't trigger on impact. It has this stupid 'Shhplaainnnggkkk' sound too when the round is sprung from the tube.

I think it would be great to see this guy turn a corner, pull his PIAT up, 'Shhplaainnnggkk' a round at you, and this dud land at your feet. BAHAhahhahhahha.

Fausts are stupid. Anyone who uses one is cheap. :D

hehe.... panzerfaust and panzerscreck ( or something like that ) was a very powerful weapons used and the soviets noticed that when the batlle was fought in the streets of berlin in WWII , It is not a weapon to understimate.
maybe it was created to destroy vehicles but I am sure you did not complain about it when you faced the Ubersoldat :D

I dont know why but I used to take the game way to seriously before and I hated panzers. But I dont really care any more cause its only a game so i either venom in the ducts or panzer the trenches all game long. you are going to die everntually anyways so who cares if its when your in the trenches or with the docs near the radio. the only people that might die once during a game is a good sniper thats about it...you cant go a whole game at 24/7 with out dying if your not like a super sniper or something. flaming the top of the back stairway is also fun. and i actually love dying by panzer cause i like to see my guts explode every where. and we shouldnt think realisticaly about the game because it is only a game and look at single player for example there were zombies in it and crap so why not have panzers.

Why would anyone hate panzer? Its such an effective weapon in the right hands, on both allies and axis.

I hate it when a panzern00b suicide for one player. But look it from a different way: when the panzer doesn't kill the enemy, the enemy will....
