Should the Ofenrohr penetration get nerfed, once Allies and Japan have appropriate alternatives?

Currently, the penetration of the Ofenrohr AT launcher overperforms compared to historical references. In reality, it should penetrate the equivalent of 140mm of armour at 30 degrees from vertical, or about 161mm of armour.

Ofenrohr Penetration

It goes without saying, this would be an issue for the Allies and Japan, who currently rely on the 200mm penetration of the existing Ofenrohr to have a competitive anti-tank weapon at BR 4 and 5. Ideally, this change would occur once both the Allies (M9E2 w/ T59, T24, T74 RCL 3.45" w/ HESH) and Japan (Type 97 AT GL) get an appropriate domestic alternative with at least 200mm penetration.

Where does this leave Germany? and will the proposed weapons for USA and Japan be on par?
Thanks.

@Darenius1 was kind enough to let me know that I made a mistake. The penetration value is for the 8cm PAW’s HEAT shell, not the 8.8cm Panzerschreck.
