The gebalte Ladung was a improvised anti tank weapon by the soldiers which was a usual stick grenade tied together with the head of others.

the PMW 1 was a anti tank grenade developed by the Luftwaffe but its use was pretty difficult as even with the fins to stabilize the flight it would still often tumble when thrown.

Penetration values set to realistic now? I defintly like the longer ranges in AS as well....the short 2 ft ranges in RTS games bugs me so much

Yes, I disslike the 57mm gun as well and how overpowered it is ... particularly when you think how damn rare it was on the soviet side only a couple of T34 ever got them and I think all of them have been loost in battle while it had eventually slightly better penetration compared to the 76mm but it did less damage and the amunition was hard to manufacture and poor of quality. They though seem to be able to penetrate both the Panzer IV and Hetzer even when that is more then questionable ... since the Hetzer had with its 60mm of angled armor (around 55° or something) effectively almost the same protection like the Tiger 1 with its 100mm of armor which had no slope. What made the Hetzer really weak was the very small space inside the vehicle which slowed down the reload time (you will not believe that it was possible to squeze 5 people in it ...), the small traverse of the gun and its very weak side armor of just 20mm ~ the Panther had 40mm.
