Were you prone when firing them? Because it seems whenever I'm laying prone behind a tank and shooting them at an upward angle the Panzerfaust has a 50-50 chance of going right through it without damaging it.
Hasnt happened from prone, however it happened once when I Was shooting from a 2nd story window into the engine deck of a tank, as well as standing.

Shoot them in the tracks. One shot one kill every time.

I always go for the side, the rear often bugs. The front sometimes survives the hit. But the side, it's a much bigger target, you won't risk getting caught, and it always penetrates. Tricky part is, you need to aim well to hit the target when moving. 75% of the people don't know how to hit moving targets.. I can simply not believe that!

Well, in real life, the Scherk was the deadlist, followed by Faust, tehn Bazooka, and the Pait was crap.
One story form Arnhem say a Piat gunner on top of a roof fired 7 shots on varying pionts of a tiger, and then the Tiger turned its turret around, and blew him about 40 feet of the roof and onto anther roof, severly wounding the guy, but not killing him. It is true, look it up, it was seen by John Howard, the leader of the assualt on Pegusus Bridge, and is in the book Pegusus Bridge by Stephen Ambrose.
But, yeah, Scherk was the best in real life, over 200 mm of armor, then Fuast with 180mm, then bassoka with 100mm, then Pait with like 40-50mm, I think....

Well, faust 150 isn't even in game, and 100 I am pretty sure was 180mm, though I could be wrong.... Still, schreck was better as you can reload, and not hunt around for an ammo box if you miss. They should have about the same damage anyways, as both could take out any allies tank in side or rear armor in one shot, and one shot on most frontal armor.

Yeah well, the 'schreck really should be powered up, I mean, it's not on many maps anyway, so it wouldn't unbalance the game, now would it?

Uhm.. yes it would. Since you dont play the game, you play in maps.. The schreck is powerfull enough. Took out a pantherD with one shot to the ass. Just like it should imo.
