To be effective fausts must be right on top of vehicles it seems most of the time. Infantry firing them off in the open and woods is a bit suspect too I think, villages and towns to hit walls, yes, firing at infantry in general with fausts in woods or open terrain does not seem effective or how they were used historically (abeit I'm sure green troops under pressure fired everything they had) :)

They sure made short work of your armored car. :whis:

Of course, there were quite a few guys firing at silly close range...

That's a real feat, considering you were probably instructing your men to fire those panzerfausts with the "fist" end facing away from the target.

No, really, it was quite a tactical feat. My Hetzer was being used in its intended role, firing HE long range at a lone MG, wisely presenting its flank to Herr's AC. He drove his AC up on its flank, right by a tiny patch of scattered trees that housed about a company's worth of infantry that had been huddling confusedly behind a ridge for 20 turns as I decided what to do with them. Never seen so many PF's fired off in 5 seconds. Didn't matter if they were holding them backwards, there were enough flying around that the AC was bound to catch one. Another example of my stunning tactical acumen.
