I've seen numerous instances now of Tigers, IS2s and even Stug Gs being able to take out AT guns while parked directly in front of them.
Is this intended?
Relic: are tanks supposed to solo AT guns?

Stugs are batshit crazy this patch.
As for Tigers and IS-2, its beyond retarded to expect a single AT gun to take them out. Cost disparity alone should give you a hint on the effectiveness.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Katitof, the cost to effectiveness argument is stupid and I think you know it.
A sniper costs 360MP but if it stays still in the face of an onrushing 170MP combat engineer, it will lose.
Cost is not the only criterion by which to evaluate the performance of different units against each other.
Sitting in front of an AT gun should HURT for any tank.

On the flipside, sitting in front of a tank should HURT for any AT gun.

And pak will loose to M3 if it parks behind it.
That obviously must mean the pak is completely ineffective, right?
Positioning is obviously a big part in it. AT guns are "tank snipers" and use them as such, not a frontline unit, back line unit supporting from afar.
I find it hilarious that you even try to defend your case here and don't see how silly it is.

I suppose first sighted and first shot wins... perhaps it is now more... well it is a game... realistic.

Katitof, it was you who made the argument that the cost of a unit should determine its effectiveness vs. another unit, not me. Thank you for realising it was a stupid argument.
In any case, it would be great to see a response from PQ on this.

I can't believe you really need a dev response on why 320mp unit looses to 600+mp and 230+fu ones.
From now on I'll just sit back, grab popcorn and enjoy this comedy.

I don't always agree with Katitof, but when I do, it's because he's right. AT guns do very well vs tanks, but if it comes down to a straight up duke fest, the tank should win.

If that's intended, I don't have a problem with it. I'm just asking if it IS intended. No need for Katitof's usual insult-fest.

Yeah I would think its intended. But maybe we will find out. I still would like more MMMFFFF for my Zis
The PTRS's are fine as they are. Whenever i'm up against Guard Infantry, I always have to be careful with my vehicles or the Guards will completely destroy them. Good range, good damage and fairly cheap; if anything, the PTRS should nerfed since it's ridiculously good for the price. Even in the hands of Conscripts, the PTRS's are extremely potent.

AT guns got buffed big time this patch. They have great penetration now and can move & reposition much faster. However, you need an infantry squad or two to cover them (and panzerfaust/panzershreck/AT nade...)
Lets put it this way: You have a 320 MP tank killer that costs no fuel or munitions. I'd say that munitions/fuel are worth 2 times MP.

Lets see, both AT guns and tanks have high-caliber AT cannons. The tank also has several machine guns. One crew is protected by nothing, the other crew is protected by a TANK. gj op.

But AT guns only cost manpower, this makes perfect sense.

Not saying that's not true, but remember one is a low profile weapon which in theory is dug into the ground for protection
The other is a noisy metal box full of fuel and explosives

Even if they were dug in, really make a difference when the tank is "parked directly in front" of the AT gun, as per the OP.
