Bazooka accuracy buff?

I think that whats missing here is consideration of the fact that the USF can equip every infantry unit they have with a zook, or even double zooks. A 4-rifles blob firing 8 zooks every few seconds is bad enough as it is, and a dire threat to all axis armour.

Ost can't field nearly as many PG's, and OKW can only upgrade one shreck. This is quality versus quantity again and making zooks identical to shrecks would almost certainly destroy any parity between the two sides completely.

ETA: and making zooks cheaper would only make it even easier for USF to mass blob zooks.

That's bullshit. I see 4+ schreked pgrens all the time in teamgames.

A dire threat to ALL Axis armor? Except the most common and most important late game tanks you mean, like the Panther and Tiger.

A rifleblob all wielding zooks? Thats a problem? USF's AI squad meant to beat grens and volks all equipped with AI hindering weapons? Pull up your own infantry and watch the riflemen do little damage.

Pretty much been advocating 100 damage since day 1. It would put the bazooka ina much better spot.

While it is certainly true the accuracy of Bazookas and Schrecks are alike, there are some edge cases against the Zooka's favour with some Axis vehicles having a smaller target size than something comparable to the Allies', such as JPIV's 17 target size versus SU-85's 22 and M36's 24, or Kubel's 14 to M3A1's 18.

well that may explain why bazookas have a hard time hitting armored targets cuz all the axis armor have "small" profiles after all axis still hog and hoard all the best AT, armor and infantry in-game. they want it to stay that way but i hope they realize soon that it cant last forever...

One way to make the bazooka more accurate without increasing the accuracy stat (which increases missile sniping) would be to significantly decrease scatter. Decreased scatter would make "misses" hit more often.

Another option would be to implement target tables for missile AT weapons, and then increasing accuracy.

I don't think the bazooka needs much, since it can be used on any squad. Pen would make it to similar to the panzershreck, as would damage. I think that an accuracy buff will make it more viable reliably vs. light/medium armor, as the bazooka is meant to be in game (supposedly).

My only worry is that Captain would counter 222 and Flaktrack too well. Maybe give him one zook.

Sure one zook sounds good, but he should also get an additional thompson if thats the case

Would increasing the accuracy from 0.05/0.0375/0.025(off the top of my head, could be wrong) to something like 0.05/0.04/0.03-0.035 increase the bazooka snipes? From what I've seen and played the rocket snipe tends to come from people firing shreks and bazookas at near point-blank ranges where the projectile doesn't really have much room to scatter from the muzzle.

Why does the Captain have Bazookas anyway? Considering that his tier has the Stuart and AT gun it makes more sense for the Lieutenant to have 2 Zooks and the Captain to have a BAR.
