Right now, SP has the Bazooka max range set to it’s mid range, the PIAT set to it’s short ‘hard to miss’ range, and the Panzershreck set to it’s long range.

Then for some reason, the Bazooka and Panzershreck are given the best accuracy! If we are going to limit the PIATs range to 100m (the PIAT had a 370m mark on it’s sight/elevation/guide) then give it excellent accuracy.

But perhaps a consistent solution would be to set all the weapons to about their mid range:

Bazooka 200
Panzershreck 200
PIAT 150

And give them all horrible accuracy. Then if you want to waste ammo at ‘longer’ ranges (most units only have 4 to 6 rounds), and give your position away, go ahead.

This would encourage players to use these units as in real life: wait until your target is <100m and you can’t miss.
Are you sure that firing a PIAT is a sure hit at 1 HEX?i remember taking 4 shots at a panther moving at 7mph before a hit, at 1 hex away D:, but this was probably caused by the green kids firing it...
