[QUOTE=Voriax]rjinwootton, the faust launches a large shaped charge that looks pretty much like the german handgrenade. The round is barely stabilized and the launch tube has very crude iron sights. Typical engagement range with it was 25-50m. Or even shorter.

Bazooka on the other hand launches a fin stabilized rocket from a launching tube. You really can't compare them, rather you should compare bazooka and schreck. They are quite similar.

As for bazooka penetration, they are still a bit off but not bad, imho. 120mm for M1 and 140mm for M9. Kinda funny as they used same ammo...and best figure I found after browsing several websites was 5 inches for M9A1 ammunition which apparently wasn't available during WW2. I'm sure ammosgt will correct me ;)
100mm or so for both would be more correct, imho.

Ranges in the 8.0 version I have are 5 hexes for M9, 4 hexes for M1, 4 for schreck and 1-3 for fausts (3 different models) Again, not bad but in all fairness I think the faust max could be 2 even for the 100 model.

If you aimed it high in the air you could probably shoot a Faust round 250 m
Of course you wouldnt be able to hit anything....but it could probably be done

I agree with the range of the weapons...but I am able to nail tanks at 200 m on my first shot with an M9
Thats way too accurate IMHO
