I just can't believe you guys tried to do reactive armor on a revision...

Lets go with the bomblette.  Honestly the RPG28A is a legacy weapon so they probably could just buy some from an arms dealer if they wanted one.  The fire cracker is also a novel idea which shows our desire to crack hard problems in unusual ways.

Also just saw Tacticus's post, unfortunate that we are giving them outdated tech.

Outdated? That RPG launcher is basically the best hand-held AT weapon of the era. Sure, it's going to show it's age next to the panzerschreck but that's not going to happen for years.

I underestimated the difficulty.

Although in my defense, even at Very Hard difficulty we still had a 1/3 chance of getting it working.

I'm actually 90% sure it's better than the Panzershrek

It's a shaped charge fired from a shoulder-mounted weapon, stabilized with fins.  It's a cheap HEAT charge that is literally the best of it's kind at this current time period.

Why haven't we mounted these on bikes yet.

Well it's an infantry carried weapon, the dude on the sidacar just has it on it's shoulder while sitting on a pile of rockets in the sidecar.

On the one hand, it's a bit of an inefficient shaped charge and a step down from, say, the Panzerschreck. On the other hand, apparently the Panzerschreck was only introduced in 1943.

Oh good, we are where they get the inspiration for it in this time line, whether we join them or not.  That is comforting.

Can someone get me the specs on this death ball? I've heard so much about it, but I'm too lazy to dig through the designs
