The
Panzerschreck (tank fright) was a infantry anti-tank weapon. Similar
to the PaK40, after the Germans started to fight against the Soviet
Union's T-34 tanks, they realized they needed something stronger then
the anti-tank rifle that they were current using. Eventually the
Pazerschreck became the bane of Allied armour. The fin-stabilized
rocket the Panzerschreck fired could penetrate up to 200mm thick armour,
however it did have a limited range (150-180 meters)One of the supposed downsides of this tank killer was that when it was fired it produced a lot of smoke (both in front and behind the weapon). This made it difficult to shoot from inclosed spaces as well as revealing the wielders position.
The Panzerschreck team should be a good addition to my German force. By attaching it to other infantry and can add some anti-tank support wherever I need it.
