PTRD vs Half track and Engineer (1.23)

I was wondering if this was working as intended.  I had an non upgraded tank hunter team (single at rifle) shooting up a mortar half track which was being repaired by an engineer team (non vetted).  I could not out damage the repair, IE they could repair faster then I could hurt it.

To me this doesn't seem right.  Now I am not saying the PTRD rifle needs to do more damage but maybe it has to do more with the lack of penetration of the other team members rifles.

Russians have a heck of a time vs Panzer elite armor, be it the half tracks, kerkrand , or what not compared to the US or Brits.  Was the Mosin Nangent (sp?) that bad of a rifle compared to the lee enfield or M1 Garand?

Apologize if this has been discussed before as I am new to the forums.  I mean if the reason the Mosin has such poor penetration on PE armor is because of the availability of the tank hunter squads I would figure they should be a little better at taking down armor. With out the AT nade I have a very difficult time dealing with armor and even then you have to mass them as the die like flies.

They got rid of AT nades :o

@Sigmar
Don't worry you can be sure devs gonna fix it :).

But seriously did they get ride of the nades?

I didn't use tank hunters since 1.20...

I'll investigate.

EDIT: they're still there...

The nades are still there, and they do slightly too much damage.

You're right, the problem is poor mosin-nagant penetration vs halftracks. I suppose it was done to balance the larger number of guns soviets have but it's really quite low.

Well I guess they do add up.
