The PIAT really needs a buff. Shooting a PIAT at an enemy 5 feet away from you with a direct hit and the enemy still standing on both of their feet like nothing happened doesn’t make any sense.
You should try the Sturmpistole… it takes about 3-5 hits to take a Stuart out with the Sturmpistole. Against infantry it is not much better.

yes, unfortunately bombers are pretty useless. An explosion pack does the job much better.
ooh you guys should try AT rifles from Moscow campaing. If you think the PIAT or Sturmpistole is weak just wait to spent 20 round on the weakes tank and see it do nothing. you need 2 shots to destroy tracks and sometimes you get a lucking kill on the gunner. No more than that

Why doesn’t the US have the bazooka instead? It’s weird using a British AT gun.
That is a nice question.
Back during cbt, in the first test, we had the bazooka and panzerfaust…
Where they had their own issues: Two problems with panzerfaust
but nontheless they were present… better than those grenade launcher that we have for sure.

Piat was more a mortar AT, close range not sure it will do that much damage, depends where you aim…
I’m going to guess they are testing weapons to an extent for the Tunisia Campaign. Only explanation I can come to with so many British weapons on the US side. Bren, Sten, PIAT, Enfield.
PIAT proved pretty effective in real life. There is an account on reddit somewhere about it taking out a panther in one hit from the side. (ammo rack probably) In game, we need overpressure for the HE rounds so that they can actually kill infantry.
Also devs admitted in their Q&A last weekend that armor models are not correct. You cant adequately test the effectiveness of any AT weapon if the armor models are not correct.
They need to fix Armor first …
