German Emplacements - Pt. 2 - 8.8cm PaK 43 Nest image - Normandy 1944: European Theater mod for Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Normandy '44: European Theater combines a higher level of realism with a more elaborate doctrine system, which incorporates almost 50 different military units that took part in the period of Jun-Sept 1944. This spectrum ranges from divisions of free Polish and French units serving under the main allied armies to volunteers from the Eastern Front that served in the German Wehrmacht. This is only a small portion of the doctrine variety however, as we feature numerous well known units of all factions as well. The mod also features numerous new abilities and custom made units each with a completely revamped size and structure. Between custom made units and structures with historically correct skins, Normandy '44 offers over 150 NEW UNITS, making for an almost endless variety of different scenarios and unit actions. Combined these factors provide for an experience unlike any other mod for CoH!
The Pak 43 was the most powerful anti-tank gun of the Wehrmacht to see service in significant numbers. The Pak 43 was an excellent weapon, able to penetrate the heaviest Allied tanks at combat ranges, including the Soviet IS-2. An experienced crew could fire 20-25 rounds per minute at an effective range of up to 4,000 m, but could fire at a maximum range of 16,000 m.
It's glorious!
yes dude it is a very nice BRITISH gun :P, glad to hear a proper model will be present in v2.0
Wow I thought PaK 43s were only mounted on tanks/tankhunters. I guess I learned something new. Merry christmas!
No , it is also used with 2 wheels and 1 version with "Kreuzlafette" both with towing Vehicle ( im Kraftzug) but it was so great that crews named it "das Scheunentor", sry for german words not knowing how to say in English
Is that a 17 pounder reskin?
yes its a 17 pounder. The PaK 43 has a very different layout and is surprisingly large. I am, however, glad to see the PaK 43 represented in game.
Read the title and description m8...
No 17 pounders here :p
will there be an actual model of the pak43 or are you gonna keep the 17pounder?
The thing is... the pak43 is almost twice as large.
Yes, sorry for the mix up gentlemen. There will be a proper model in v2.0. The model just has to be replaced for the current one. Sorry for the mix up.
that's all i wanted to hear =)
is not the 17 pounder of british army? .-.
why don´t you use the gun from the Nashorn model(BK mod or else) and create the split trail on you own ?

Why does it only have a two man crew?
That's not very realistic.
The current emplacement model and animation doesn't allow for more than two crewmen. It'll be fixed in the future if we can.
yep. the pak 43 is very large :D i take a look at it on google pictures and this thing is amazing and big.! =) but i love the big bang.!
is it can shoot longer than firefly am i correct?, how far and strong this At compare it with german pak 88
the Pak 43 is the equivalent of the 88mm KwK 43 model that can be found primarily on the Tiger II, the Jagdpanzer V Jagpanther, and the Ferdinand (I prefer to just call it the Elefant). As stated it has an effective range of 4km and a max of 16km. The Sherman Firefly had an effective range of about 2km for it was designed to be able to combat the long range tanks in the Wehrmacht such as the Panther and the Tiger I.
