as said many time already,vCOH pak 38 would do the job just fine

I once suggested a slight but radical change:
Make rak crew as able to fight inf as volskgren, as it were a volks squad with the rak ATG. 4 people, 3 to fight. 60% Firepower compared unupgraded volks. Voila! Now OKW can combine volks and raketen squads to be able to fight off up to medium armor from T0.

Before anyone spitting into my face for such claims i have to say also:
Remove volks sbags. Remove Raks camo. Match up moving speeds from both units. Remove 100 MP from OKW (maybe?). Keep Pfaust Locked. Remove lavanade (?

No assets. Closest thing they could do is Pak 40 but the "OMG YOU'RE MAKING THEM ALL TOO SIMILAR!11!!1" crowd will jump.

Is there any AT gun model that haven't been used? There is a soviet m42 AT gun which could be transfer into a german 3.7 cm Pak 36 which looks almost the same. But that sadly matches more ostheer ostroopen commander rather than OKW

Pak36 was used even it end of the war firing Stielgranate 41

And that makes even less sense, Stielgranate 41 was the last hope shot. It does the same job as the Raktenwerfer, but the grenade is charged at the end of the barrel, which reduces the rate of fire and increases the risk of crew death.

yes, but that would basicly make him a rakktenwerfer.

I am not sure how a historical fact "makes even less sense" ino your opinion.

In addition: "Stielgranate 41 was the last hope shot" is incorrect. IT was the first shot and it could take most allied tanks.

This means that this is just a Raktenwerfer clone with the worst characteristics. Does not make sense. Stielgranate 41 was used because it is cool, but because we need the maximum amount of anything that fired at the enemy.

As an option, give Trophy ZIS-3 for OKW, if PaK-40 is too powerful for OKW

Yes, they did but the Pak38 was the successor to the Pak36. It would be great if anything if OKW acquires either a Pak36 or Pak38.

Raketenwerfer is not even a proper support weapon in game.

IRL it was made in lesser quantities than the Panzershreks. It is also said to have double the range of the Pzshrek. Apparently in this game it is the same range which is a big lol.

According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.8_cm_Raketenwerfer_43

Also fuck no to volks Shreks. It was actually removed from volks because a cheap 5 man Shrek squad that can also do... Everything is bad design. It was LITERALLY removed because it's bad design. It's not coming back.

5 man rak with adjusted abilities sounds good though. I'd like to see that in testing.
