I mean, why would you pick not-homing AT weapon when you can get great 6 pounder?

piats are cheap put them on sappers and let them work their magic piat do more damage and have better pen then bazooka but they are hrad to hit
Bazookas and PIATS have the same penetration values.

They are still pretty meh due to their lack of homing as mentioned but they have a pretty nice damage value when they DO hit and the added range buff last patch means you can kinda sorta snipe vehicles if the other player isn't paying attention and RNG is on your side.
I like to put 1 or 2 on Sappers just to keep the other player honest around my infantry if my 6 pounder isn't around but I definitely wouldn't rely on them for my sole AT or to hunt a fast scout vehicle.

They're *okay* against ISG's, although they can't kill the gun. (Sniper can in like 8 shots though)
They're godlike against OKW trucks. Capable of sniping them in their base if you have vision (or atleast doing damage and forcing squads to repair) and outrange the panzer flak gun. I'm going to experiment with them in my early game brits and see if it works out well against OKW.

I tried my self, but i think they are not worth it. They are not hitting a moving vehicle even if its stopping for 5 sec you would not hit it.

I tried to spam the weapon on my 4-5 IS squad, (so 8-10 PIATS)ignoring brenn completly.
What happened was quite interesting as the big number of explosions was enough to threaten infantery, destroying any light vehicle, and greatly cripple medium tanks, forcing retreats.
The fact that this composition threaten infantery was also du to the fact that an IS squad that shoot on a tank vet up very fast.
If you compare costs you have 3 PIATS for 2 BRENN and much more AI power with the brenn but you get more polyvalence with the PIATT. (i miss an ATgrenade!)
