Engineer beeing able to blow tanks

[django75]

When I came back ingame a few weeks ago after 1.5 year not playing, I've been told that engineers were not able to blow ETs anymore. But today my B1 wtf exploded after an engineer placed his satchel on me. Nothing else was shooting at me, he got the kill.

arhhh... engineers don't have HEAT satchels anymore but they have HE which in some instances can kill some tanks especially poorly armored.

Read the read me of patches CRS expressed this exact point, the damage model also models HE you can't just say a 5kg explosive satchel doesn't do nothing in the current system.

Yes, that's what Arland told me on TS last night. This is a LOT of inf with AT capabilities then... This game will soon be an inf vs inf only game, if we go on like this. ATGs already almost disappeared, nobody use them anymore. But I understand this is not bug related. OMW to whine in the barracks/motorpool.

The frus effectively elimanated alot of armor capabilities combined with atr/rpat and soon the grenadier being in armor will be even less fun....we rarely tank as a squad nowadays as opposed to the days when the 23rd rolled columns....in turn the 23rd is now down to about 4 active members....inf game is the primary for crs whether they admit it or not...doc posted threads in motor pool but everyone is skeptical on the rats making armor a fun aspect of the game experience again....once in awhile you can maintain a decent zoc and slaughter with armor but its so rare

LOL nah I use alot of armor and it's still very efficient if not rpats improve my K/D ratio since more enemies come towards my tank.

Pre 1.34 - tier 0,1 had sappers with 4 HEAT satches

- ATR rifleman

- Grenadier

1.34 - tier 0,1 has anti tank rifle with atr rifle and 1 heat satchel

- engineers only good against light tanks vickers,pans, 232...

Atr is useless against most tanks and you get the ability only to kill 1 tank with the satchel vs the 4 we had.

ATGs are still present alot on the battlefield usually on the defending side.
