yeah you are probably right.
and it also hits the weak top armor all the time... but thats a balance no brainer... combined with the cheaper reinforce costs for IS. Piat blobs are too effective.
Piat blob killed my KT in 4seconds and 3min after an elephant in 5 seconds... working as intended
Defintely needs a penetration nerf, dmg nerf especially annoying on medium tanks and light vehicles and maybe also a firerate nerf.
Higher firerate in cover would be something I would encourage
Really Bad idea. You'll just make LMG king² of battlefields.
Blobbing isn't a problem on its own, it is what make the blob effective. Like Lunvest said: native long range dps profile + shreck on 5 men squads.
Nobody complains about Engineer Blobs, because they are not effective.
I think you never faced a good old Barechelon blob.
Playing with cover should be way more effective... because thats what this game is all about.
Buffs on infantry in cover like the Inf Section would be definitely one step in the right direction.
