'A contemporary (1944–45) Canadian Army survey questioned 161 army officers, who had recently left combat, about the effectiveness of 31 different infantry weapons, in that survey the PIAT was ranked the number one most “outstandlingly effective” weapon, followed by the Bren gun in second place'

Piats are terrible man. I had like 10 of them in multiple engineer squads and only ONE managed to hit a panzer 4 that moved just a inchwards back after they fired.

Yet somehow, they sometimes find their luck hitting obers and even instagibbing them in the weirdest of times.

1/10 - Would never replace for a bren ever again.

PIAT squads need ambush ability from vCOH.

Its like trying to buff a sword to keep up with machine guns. Piats were terrible awful weapons. You're lucky they are as good as they are now for what they cost. They aren't for assaulting but defending.


its a video game

Why make one player micro and the other not have to micro cuz his units are simply better and dont require the same amount of micro?


People used to said this about MG42's, once upon a time.

Balance is only relevant at the skill ceiling.

if this is your logic you should have to attack ground shreks


Because there is no skill about it, its more of an unfair handicap, because other factions don't have to use attack ground.


You dont understand guys. I mean it should be better than shreck when used correctly but worse than shreck when not microed. That way its fair and also unique. Units performing too good when idle is exactly why we have the ISG crap all aroung us so you should understand now.

but that's not fair a shrek requires no micro just click on your target,making a player using attack ground to use a list offers no skill at all just a handicap and unnecessary micro.

It's really not that bad, I'd take a PIAT over a bazooka any day. The problem is there is no reason to get one over a Bren, ever.

Whatever you do, don't bring in reasoned thinking or actual opinions of soldiers into this argument. That sort of thing isn't acceptable here. B-):nahnah:

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
