Twice now I have faced IS2s with no armor and raketens and they are awesome! Because of the cloak I am getting them to half health before he even knows whats happening. Yay to slightly more combined arms but now I feel OKW is just infantry tactics till you have enough fuel for 2 tanks then roll over the enemy. At the moment with the speed of firing and cloaking its a pure AT god.
Could OKW now afford a slight increase in price for volks shreks? (I personally hate facing and using blob tactics)
RaketenWerfer 43 op?

Racketenwerfers have excllent pen, reasonably good RoF and vet up very quickly.
Vet 0 ones are very vulnerable to tanks because of the short range, but vet them up a bit (easier then usual with the retreat capability) and they quickly become brutal. Vet 5 ones utterly wreck face, as usual.
Not as much as they used to when their damage bonus was bugged and they one shot literally anything, though.
Still. Not OP, I'd say, just alarmingly good with vet. And really squishy without.

Strange thread entitled "R43 OP" but appraises it for being useful and calling for a nerf of volk schreck blobs.
I certainly am happy with it; great to see tanks actually piss off at the sight of it.

Mate the entire point of the volks was their vet not their AT. And the raketens are still nowhere as usefull as the pak

They'll still die instantly once they make a wrong move, but the firing time reductions will make it way easier to do something and not make wrong moves (translated: Retreat once they start going to it after it fires).

since people still don't look up pen values...
the only gun on that list with bad pen (ie. significantly different from the others) is the 57mm, which has shit pen.
for reference:
Code
Raketen
200.0/190.0/180.0
Pak
210.0/200.0/190.0
Zis
200.0/190.0/180.0
57mm
140.0/125.0/115.0

Raketens were always good, but people refused to use them because they aren't PAK-40s
I almost never built obers and I build raketens almost every game; so I was quite happy about the patch. It wasn't a nerf for me

If you had told me on March 30th that I would be seeing Racketen 43 OP and PTRS OP threads, I would have laughed at you...
Its useful now, a refreshing change as now you dont need to spam volks to have at options.

The only reason I don't usually call in raketens is the crew. No cover, they clump up and get insta-wiped

Dont you think its strange that rockets have different penetration values at different ranges, since i dont think rocket penetration cares about distance in real life...but i guess its balance
