It looks like some sort of Bazookatype hand-held tiny-rocket launcher; I've never seen something like this used by WW II German troops. (I thought the Panzerschreck was a hand-held grenade on a stick.)

Otherwise, looking fine.;)
 
yeah, im tring to remember if this was an american bazzoka or a panzerschrek. i know that something looked like that in Medal of honor called a panzerschrek
 
The BtS vanilla antitank infantry uses a Panzerschreck, this unit here uses the American bazooka. ;)
But it is a nice looking more more modern "just if" unit. :goodjob:

You're thinking of the Steilhandgrenate. The Panzershreck (Tank Terror) was modeled after the American M1A1 Bazooka.

It had several improvements over the Bazooka. The round was heavier and packed more punch, and it employed a large protective plate to shield the user from the expelled gases. The former improvement was later used on the (IIRC) M20 Super Bazooka.
 
Panzerfaust is correct - and I completely forgot about the Panzerschreck!:blush: If I'm not mistaken this time, it was a late-WW II weapon, no? The Panzerfaust was generally in use by the Wehrmacht until the Amis - no, not the Amish - came around carrying Bazookas and Gerry got his hands on one (just like the Panther was a clever copy of the Russian T-34). Oh no, I'm drifting off again...;)

@xenomorph: Stielhandgranate - that's the one I never saw!
 
Very interesting! Yes, the Panzershrek was a Handheld AT, it is probably the most powerful of them all in a game I have, Company of Heroes (And a lot of griping on the Allied side for them being Overpowered. :p

Well, the Germans developed the Panzerschrek after evaluating several captured Bazookas (captured in the North African campaign, IIRC). However, the panzerfaust was much cheaper and easier to produce and could be more easily fired from closed spaces (like bunkers) so it was used throughout the war. The panzerschrek had the advantage of allowing you to carry more shots for the given weight because of the reusable launcher. It should be noted that the Panzerfaust was still generally more powerful.

yeah, the only real thing missing on my model is the blast shield. but i can probly get the correct graphic off of BtS.

I made this unit way before the graphics for BtS were finished :p
