I have always had fun destroying tanks with the explosion pack and when i found out that the PTRD is in the game i was pleasantly surprised. Well after playing with it for many games i have noticed that it seems to work in absolutely magical ways as far as i am concerned. I decided to look into the stats provided ingame and it furthered my confusion:
Stat wise i dont really see a reason for the ptrd to struggle with any german tank except the Pz.III J from the front or at a great distance. But what has happened to me ingame is a totally different story...
Against infantry the gun works as intended you aim with it you shoot and it hits the target, this seems to change drastically when against tanks tho. I often times find myself aiming for a solid few seconds just keeping the tank in my sights to make sure its not my fault for the miss, and yet still way too often it just misses even when the tank is very close to me. I dont have issues sniping people with it but even at close range it is absolutely unreliable against the enormous tanks. And even when i hit often times its not where i was aiming or if it is where i am aiming it doesnt penetrate very often, even (by games statistics) 15mm armor. Now before you say
-You should aim for the weakspots you are just bad.
I do aim for the weakspots i have played a considerable amount of world of tanks and war thunder and i do know at least some of the weak points and have a basic idea of how the crew is arranged in the tanks that i am shooting at, yet it doesnt really apply ingame. If anyone knows what i am misunderstanding and could explain to me how the PTRD works ingame so that i can adapt to it please do.
Sorry for my bad english, its not my main language.
This doesn't need to change its rate of fire, but the PTRD-41 should unlock and open the bolt upon firing. The fin looking protrusion next to the cheek rest is what the bolt will cam against as the barrel-bolt assembly recoils back.
Its hard to find video of this online b/c the barrel life is like 500 rounds for full powered cartridges. But it should happen when firing an actual full powered round. Maybe having this happen only when prone and increasing the rate of fire would be a nice micro-system.
edit: An interesting point of note is that the piat also has a sort of self-priming/resetting system that works in-game.
Oh, you thought this was gonna be a joke? THINK AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER!!!

*Keeping the +50 ammo bonus requires the assistant to stay within 50 studs of the user.
**Not setting the gun up with another person greater than/equal to lv75 causes the same push-back effect seen with the PTRS-41 in Call of Robloxia 5. Basically, you can't sit atop the crane alone (if you don't want to fall off)!! (pushback is 17 studs whilst standing, crouching is 8.5, prone is 4.25)
