Anyways, the last I heard recoillesses pretty much *had* to rely on chemical energy instead of kinetic for antitank work on account of kinda shitty muzzle velocities – not much point tossing kinetic penetrators at those speeds. In-game the damn things would pretty much have to shoot HEAT by default.

And I sincerely doubt WG would be any more amenable to salvo-fired multiple recoillesses than any other multi-gun arrangement…

Edit: oh you Foreignese and your putting dots where commas go.

Of course, this could easily be solved by vehicles with recoiless rifles the same mechanics as other vehicles with conventional guns (and for vehicles with multiple recoiless rifles like this one, they would be treated the same way as autoloaders), which while not historically accurate is more or less balanced…well…sort-of, anyways. We have enough autoloaders at higher tiers as it is.

Also, the premium ammo for all recoiless rifles would either be HEAT or a more powerful HE shell than their standard one. In the former case it makes them viable at long range, so long as they don’t hit sloped or spaced armor (good luck with that in high-tiered games, where most tanks have at least one of those). The latter case could be similar to the HESH ammo on British tanks, and would be quite deadly against lightly-armored targets.

Basically, most vehicles with recoiless rifles would be glass cannons with very high burst damage and penetration, but with slow rates of fire (due to long reloads) and extremely limited ability to survive return fire, similar to a tank destroyer or some light tanks.
