Boys ATR

The Boys Anti Tank Rifle is a British anti-tank rifle featured in Post Scriptum and used by the French 21 Regiment d'Infanterie.

It was often used in the beginning of the war because of its good penetration against light tanks, but was quickly discarded as hull thickness increased.

The W Mark 1 ammo is supposed to be able to penetrate about 23.2 mm at a firing range of 100m.

Injuries were not uncommon, when firing the weapon without using the bipod laying down, thus this has been implemented in game.

The Boys ATR is named after Captain Henry C. Boys, who helped design many guns for the British military and died only a week before the gun was released.

Usability
This weapon is hot shit, even a deviation of about 5° will let your bullets ricochet off every tank. It also can only penetrate the lower side the Panzer II front and Panzer III front, while being able to penetrate the Panzer II turret from behind and both lower sides from behind as well, but even here slight inaccuracies will let your bullets ricochet right into your friends skull, (even from less than 10 metres away). Also it takes about 25 (penetrating) shots to down one of these tanks, even when aiming at weak spots. Just aiming at the backside of the turret reduces this to 4 shots at a effective deviation of 1°. The Panzer 38t is about as easily penetrable though it takes more bullets to the turret to break (~10) and it can be penetrated from the front.

The same penetration pattern applies to Sd. Kfz's and other light vehicles, but their whole backside can be penetrated, these also explode after 12 (penetrating) shots.

The Panzer IV can be penetrated as well but only with a maximal deviation of 1° and at the lower hull in the front, in the lower back or at the number plate on the turret (this seems quite effective, destruction achieved in 7 shots).

Bugs
Sometimes bullets just ricochet off even when another bullet penetrates the same spot from exactly the same angle and distance.
