The anti-tank rifle

Solitaer: " I use the ATR almost exclusively. I love the difficulty of it and the challenge it gives to use. I also prefer its more flat trajectory for shooting inf at long distance. Now I am usually in the top 10 on the ATR top 100 list.

Playing Axis I hardly ever get a kill on an ET. Even the allied armored cars are not easy to kill. ALL the allied Tier zero stuff is hard to kill. Somua is nearly impossible and the CHAR is unkillable period. Then there is the matty in many years of playing this game I have killed ONE of them with the ATR (poor wolfie69 had her drivers hatch open). The fairly easy kills for an EXPERIENCED ATR'ist are, A13, Dalmer, Vickers, Pan, Hotckis. Of course the ATGs and Trucks are easy pickens. Once you get past tier zero it is a whole other story. You might as well have a sling shot if your trying to kill Tier1-3 allied tanks with ATR with the exception of the Stuart and if you are an expert the Crusader. Playing ATR as allied. I can KILL every single German tank minus the Tiger, PIIIH and Stug G. The Stug B, PIV, 232, 251, HT, Opel, PIVG, P38t, PII, PIIIF are all EASY kills for the experienced ATR'ist and most are easy kills for the ATR noob.

Now lets do the math. Thats 5 tier 0 allied units killable by the ATR NOT including ATGs or Trucks. And 6 tier 0 units axis killable by the ATR NOT including ATGs or Trucks. So the allies have twice as many units counting both countries and have less units killable by a weapon meant to kill tier 0 units?
Either the French armor needs a nerf or the German ATR needs a boost to its effectiveness. I say French armor because the matty is the only non killable unit for the Britts where the french have many more. Frankly the whole inf verses tank game needs a TOTAL revamp but thats another post all together. We need our antitank rockets."
