Panzerfaust delay

I don't recall it being there some patches ago, but now it seems that every time you use the Panzerfaust ability, there is some significant delay between the launching sound and animation and the actual rocket being launched. The problem is it has real game consequences, because if you move your squad before the rocket actually goes off, the ability gets cancelled. This leaves your squad vulnerable for longer than it should.

It doesn't seem to matter if you use it on Grenadiers or Fallschirmjägers, probably Osttruppen will be also affected then.

Its for all throwable abilities.
AT nades, normal nades, molotovs, satchels, everything got delay before actually throwing it.

AT rifle nades for USF are the worst for this. Sometimes the delay is massive.

I've seen it happen where one guy doesn't bother to fire his and it falls to another guy to get his out and fire it instead, basically doubling the time it takes for it to shoot...

The faust animation finishes, the rocket launches, but nothing happens until a full second later when the real rocket launches and hits.

LOL sherman smoke handles it sooo much better...

"we must obey all traffic laws and complete a full stop before we can save ourselves using smoke."

Once you get a handle on how it works it's not too bad. It stops to shoot smoke but it will continue shooting if you issue a move order immediately. Other abilities would be canceled by the move order. It would be nice if it was completely separate though.

Yeah, its really annoying. Clear shot becomes possible unit wipe.
Often it turns into gamble.
It's same thing with Con at nade and molotov. etc

AT RGs also have a minimum range that never got removed when they were changed...
