This adds a risky form of counterplay to the panzerfaust (rushing your vehicle in even closer), while defining the panzerfaust as a powerful short to mid-range AT snare that requires a bit more tactics to use than 'Well, there's a vehicle. That might be me not properly understanding the nuances between the two weapons, though. I do feel, however, that the Panzerfaust should have some sort of a minimum range, like the USF AT grenade. Panzerfausts, and especially snares, aren't much of a concern for me as a result. Those things said, I don't have much of a problem with it, but that's probably because I gravitate around a more defensive style of play.

While most WM players are going to just have the T1 building, if they lose it for any reason, no WM unit can fire a panzerfaust until the building is rebuilt.

The panzerfaust also isn't 'free' technically. Doing it is hella unreliable, but if you manage to reverse far enough away, sometimes the frontal armor is enough to bounce the shot (this was done with a basic Sherman.)
