Is it possible to implement a feature where AT infantry can be toggled to use their AT weapons against other infantry or hold fire and only shoot vehicles?

I'm not sure how the game is wired and how each entity is told what it can and can't do but I'm spectating a game where Shrecks are being fired at infantry as the player (I guess a moved) to an area they suspected a tank.

With this feature you no longer waste time firing your AT shots at infantry and lose a tiny bit of fire power in the skirmish but can instead save your AT shots for when the tanks are in range and get the shots off sooner.

Can it be done/would it work?

Its snare on one niche unit that is useless apart from snaring/light cars counter.

If that doctrine game snares to all IS and gave them option to became dank hunters, it would be much more used

Indeed but the argument brought across to me was if "brits" had snares, not tommies. Quickest way to balance snares on tommies is only allow engies to pick up piats, that way they can't just chase down tanks alone and gives a gren/pgren style tactics.

Don't mind if I steal this for my mod?

Of course

We did give PIATs homing projectile. Perhaps that will be enough to help Brit early game, perhaps it won't. At the very least, you won't be seeing cancerous PIAT spammerinos in the late-game.

Regarding AT nade:
- That would very likely require us to rebalance Tommies (since they now become generalists)
- And it would also definitely require us to rebalance Comets/Cromwells

You will see more PIAT blobs now they home, not less. I for one don't build them and near every match I watch by dane/GG they are never used!

PIAT change will help a lot but no where near as much as a snare would have.

Why would it require a Tommy re balance? Riflemen get nades,smoke,bars,zooks,AT nades,5 men squads and can fight decently out of cover. Not a snarky question, just an honest one, why would it require such a drastic re balance?

Vehcile comes near range, tommies move out of cover to snare it, lose all bonus, get kited and attacked by infantry, fall back into cover and most likely lose the fight due to no cover bonus, riflemen can at least survive this scenario much better than UKF.

Again why would it require you to re balance the tanks just because the infantry has an AT nade? I've yet to hear anyone moan about the comet/cromwell but say its fine because they have no snare...

Lastly, I saw your post on the ninja changes and it said you added muni to recon, please tell me this is not the UKF command vehicle recon, if so, why? You have just killed the ability now the UC can't be used either and the vehicles STILL move and fire stupidly slow.

Excuse me but:

OKW

Panzerfausts

OKW are the only faction in the game to have snares which cost 35 munitions. This heavy Panzerfaust cost made them too vulnerable to vehicles, especially when compounded with their other inferior anti-tank options. The delay on OKW unlocking Panzerfausts compared to Wehrmacht made them helpless versus early light vehicles such as the M3 and M20. This, additionally made the prospect of going for a Mechanised HQ less viable.

What about UKF? Can they get a snare yet or is their weakness supposed to be early vehicle rape because clearly here, its regarded as a massive weakness for OKW that have the option but have to spend muni for it...

They already swapped the snipers ability for the arty, so you have to vet him up to get the ability...

Seriously, give them a snare already, even if you have to tech nades to get it, just give them one.
