Your April Update is Here! 1.14.1 Game Update: 3 New Anti Tank Weapons
ATTENTION SOLDIERS!
HEROES & GENERALS WWII IS DEPLOYING 3 NEW WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION FOR ALL INFANTRY SOLDIERS. TANKS BEWARE!
THE GERMAN GRANATBÜCHSE 39 [GR B 39]
The Gr B 39 is a Pz B 39 converted to take the standard rifle attachment grenade launcher (Schiessbecher). It launches a shaped charge warhead that is fired by a wooden bullet. This allows the weapon to engage harder targets than the original bullet launching platform. Most PzB-39 rifles in service have been subject to these modifications, and the resulting Gr B 39 guns are able to be very effective in combat.
THE US M18 RECOILLESS RIFLE
The M18 recoilless rifle is a 57 mm shoulder fired anti-tank recoilless rifle. As a recoilless rifle it is capable of firing artillery-type shells at reduced velocities (~365m/s) but with greater accuracy than anti-tank weapons that use unguided rockets, and almost entirely without recoil. The M18 Recoilless Rifle can penetrate up to 76mm of armor at a 90 degree angle.
THE SOVIET PTRS-41
The PTRS-41 or Simonov anti-tank rifle is the semi-automatic analog of the PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle. The gas-operated PTRS fires a 14.5 mm armour-piercing bullet with a muzzle velocity of 1013 m/s and devastating ballistics. It can penetrate an armour plate up to 40 mm thick at a distance of 100 meters.
