Many have already suggested: make the crew RA from 1 to 1.25. This will make them have the same effective HP to small arms damage as the 4 man crews of other at gun crews but still be just as resistant to explosive damage which was what the rak crew struggled with when they only had 4 men.

Agree with this or at least 1.15 or something. I don't want to remove retreat because it's cool and unique, and it was just too squishy before at 4 man. But 5 man + retreat is too much, it's too easy to A-move overextend to get shots off and then run away (especially with double rak this can punish Mediums super hard).

Raketen are hands down the best AT, partly because of the retreat. They should have the retreat and the ability to camouflage in buildings and such but their models should drop down faster. Even when I flank the raketen with 3 infantry sections or rifleman with bars, it still survives with 2-3 models.
It should stay the best AT gun but it needs to be a bit more squishy. A lot of times you'll see 2x raketen camouflage (or not, YOLO) or just straight up get to the front of the front line and take out your light/medium vehicle that was unlucky enough to fire on something and give away the position (or ground target if lucky)

what absolute nonsense, no way in hell is the rakenten the best AT in the game. Its definitely better then other AT guns when it comes to surviving small arms fire but other then that no way in hell is it the best AT gun in the game

raketen is more resistant to inf and less vs tanks that's it, no need to spin it too much, if u want more RA give it another man or resistance to explosives, a tank can drive up to it and straight up kill it with no problem as it lacks any sort of shield same for explosive such as nades
