Company of Heroes

5 things to remember when using Panzershrek/Bazookas

1. Spread your squads around, attack tanks from all angles.
2. Try to get close, imagine you play Rifleman with stickies. A Panzershrek will hit 100% from 8 yards, 60% from 17 yards; Bazooka will hit 100% from 8 yards, 40% from 17 yards; sticky range is 17 yard.
3. Try to take cover; get behind things(i.e. stone wall or wrecks so the main cannon doesnt hit as hard.
4. Panzershrek/Bazooka takes atleast 7.5 seconds to reload, so move away for 3 seconds after a shot, and move closer for next 3 seconds(Remember taking cover).
5. Pick up your lost Panzershrenks/Bazookas, dont give them to your enemy. Even a 1 man squad can carry 2 panzershreks/bazookas: when you reinforce them the second man will automatically gets the weapon.

Nice tips. The range vs damage does seem reasonable for maximum effect.

Even in Band of Brothers they had to be close to the tank to shoot at it's bottom part for the rocket to penetrate it.

Nice tips, especially #5.

Thanks.

and my tip is when you upgrade your rangers to Thompsons you can carry upto 4 bazookas per squad(if you pick some ofc) which will crush your enemy

ye ive seen that. Amazing really because other squads like riflemen can only carry 2 max.

rangers with 4 anti tank weapons make me smile... a LOT, especially when fully veteran

Well i have to try the ranger thing. It will prove usefull.

the zeal + inspired assault with one grenadier is awsome too

I didnt know that 1 man can carry 2 shrecks

nice tip
