Designed to be a portable AT solution for the British army,the Boys AT rife saw a lot of action,mainly in Finland during the Winter War,and in WW2.For the Finns it was a great AT,as it could deal with Soviet T-26s relatively easily.During WW2 it was useful against the early German tanks,such as the Panzer I and II,and the early models of the Panzer III.It gained a pretty bad reputation in all the theatres it was deployed,mainly because the penetration power was comparable to that of the Browning .50 machine gun,which could also fire armor piercing indenciary tracer (APIT) ammo,which was a lot more reliable at disabling tanks.It was used in Tunisia by airborne troops,with no effect,as it could not penetrate enemy tanks. In the Pacific,it was used against the initial Japanese attacks on British colonies,and it also proved almost useless against Japanese armor.It was dropped in favour of the PIAT in 1943

VARIANTS:

-Mk I->Slower bullet speed,only uses iron sights
-Mk II->Faster bullet speed,only uses scope

STATS:

-Damage->1500 (1 shot infantry at any range, only damages medium vehicles)
-Loaded ammo->5 bullets

The scope for the V2 doesn't work :(

I completely forgot to say, the reason i'm not satisfied with the weapon's zero damage to tanks (Not to mention even somehow the T-26) is although yes, i am keen to historical accuracies and, as examle, understand the Boys AT Rifle's poor effectiveness, but what i'm not fan of is gameplay frustration. While giving it only some damage against tanks so it doesn't do as much damage as Kb Wz 35 and PTRD/S 41 would be fine, but making it do absolutely NOTHING to tanks is just unfair for the gameplay.

I know Bots don't know how to shoot at weakspots but it still matters that 9 Boys AT rifles against a T-26 which is just a light tank with no descent armour and showing no successfulness of disabling is equals ridiculous

But anyways, we'll see, you won't mod for a while you say

Bots don't know how to shoot at weakspots from what i know, but well as i said on the G41 (iirc it was there) i will not mod for a while, so this goes to the list. The issue is that balancing the Boys is very hard, considering that like the other AT rifles, it still has to have the damage curve and so on, which just requires more time and thinking.

So yeah, especially with a squad of 9 AT Gunners including the player still showing no successfulness is completely plain unfair for this weapon, even worse but no offence that although you would love to do it, 'but you can't', giving it 2nd chance of having some AT damage

I've tested this weapon against 1 T-26 with an enemy in it with my squad of 8 other Teamates with only Boys AT Rifles in their hands, and the result was no success of disabling the tank even when i also 'hit the weak spots of this tank many times'.

Obviously, i'm not saying that it should do much damage as the Kb Wz 35 and PTRD/S 41 cuz that sounds stupid so you didn't need to talk about these other AT rifles, what i'm most importantly saying is this weapon should have it's AT damage just like it had even before everything about nerfed AT rifles started and should be also obviously less effective than these other AT rifles instead of just doing completely no damage to tanks, Like you said about letting it have some AT damage.

It's because it only does heavy arms, as in real life it wasn't very effective against most tanks past 1942.
The real issue here is that tanks in general just have tank armor (the last level, over heavy arms); if the Boys dealt that damage, it would be as effective as the KbWz35 and almost as effective as the PTRD/S, which it definitely wasn't in real life.
The ideal solution which we can't do, but would love to, is to give it "variable damage", letting it do maybe 200 AT damage and 1500 heavy arms damage, which would make it able to deal with all tanks in theory (very slowly), focusing mainly on lighter vehicles. In reality as i said, we can't do that, so the compromise was giving it heavy arms.

Don't be disappointed though, in kiki's tank mods you will be able to see an image/chart showing armor values for each side of the tank. The weakest areas are usually heavy arms, meaning that if you're a bit accurate, you can do full damage to most of our tanks with this weapon.

I'm dissatisfied of this weapon doing completely no damage to Tanks. One of dissapointing example is this weapon can't deal with T-26 from a brand new WW2 Vehicle mod in contrast to reality that this weapon was popular for Finns cuz it could deal with these tanks. I mean i know Boys Anti-Tank Rifle in reality was notorious for it's ineffectiveness against armor but it doesn't mean it can never do a single damage to tanks and therefore it should still do some damage so i hope this weapon of this mod would retain it's availibility to damage tanks
