Panzerfaust

This is more a question than a suggestion
is somehow possible to have panzerfaust as normal weapon such as panzerschreck? that you buy it for 50 muni for example and can use against armor without spending additional munition?
it can be a good weapon for Ostheer units for 50 muni a weaker "schreck" ?

I think this would be unrealistic, because a Panzerfaust is a one-shot-weapon, so you can't reload it. And I think that there was no Landser who wanted to carry more than one Panzerfaust with a weight of 6-9 kg  ;D

Well. Thats wrong.
Panzerfäuste could be reloaded. The first versions were an "one shot and then throw it away" weapon.
The later version like the Panzerfaust 60 or 100 could be reload more than 4 or 5 times until the tube is useless.

but is it real to work as a panzerchreck? i mean if is some problem with coding, animating and other this stuff i don't know how woks?... :)

why would you pay 25 less muni then a panzershreck and do less damage? I would rather the Shreck over then Faust

because you will get it earlyer just like volks.. have it for 25 for one shot you will get it for 50 "infinite" time until you get better anti tank weapon...

Gren's can build Panzerchrecks right away and PE Troops can get them very quickly also (Before 5 min in game)

yes but that's with wehr and pe but you know how will the ostheer works?

not right now, but I am just making you think :D

i mean it ironical  :)

there were different kinds of panzerfausts throughout the war with different ranges and anti tank capabilities although they were mostly short ranged they were generally had better anti tank properties in terms of armor penetration than panzershrecks. There could be numerous ways to do panzershrecks in the ostheer if they are used.

Germans used some early AT rifles and captured Polish rifles (better). They used all of these in the early stages of the war.
So how about an early  PzB 35(p) AT rifle upgrade.

Or better yet a Tier 1 PAK 3,7cm

I have both of them in my Ostheer army.

that PzB looks nice, early AT hmm rather later good pak
but the panzerfaust isn't bad too i think...

problem is with the AT rifle or the lower caliber guns the Germans didn't use much of that stuff late war as it became obsolete.

i think it was still usable for killing soft targets such as armored cars or armored transport vehicles and others similar units

It would be only used for killing AC and tread breaking early in the game. Later static Pak 7,5cm or StugIII/JagdpanzerIV will have to do the job.

I think this would be a great idea for an early AT option. Having Volks with an upgraded PanzerFaust would be amazing. Granted it would do weaker than the PanzerShrek, and lower fire rate, but still a reliable option for early game vehicle counters.

there were also kleinfaust: little panzerfaust (lighter), two shooting from a large unit at one time could be great ?
