If I ever had to scrape up a list of the strongest features of the UKF faction (relative to other factions & the enemies you are facing), PIATs would have to be at the very top, and by a wide margin. Well, at least now that Artillery Cover has been rebalanced.

PIATs require a bit of practice and a lot of micro (with attack ground) to get right. To practice:
- Use cheatmod and try hitting stationary kubels & bunkers at long ranges
- Once you feel comfortable, jump in-game and promise yourself you will make 1-2 PIAT squads
- As you begin to feel more comfortable, start aiming them at retreating infantry (1 hit = 50% HP off)
- Finally, start actively using them against snipers; doesn't matter if you hit, you're laying the fear on the other guy.

The clear downside is micro:
- You need to anticipate enemy vehicle movement
- You need to manually aim every single shot

Personally, I find this very tasking; I am decent at microing snipers. I can also micro PIATs quite. However, I find it impossible to micro snipers AND PIATs on the same game. It's either one or the other.

Finally, for the love of god, never give PIATs to Tommies. They get a horrible penalty to their reload speed out of cover (that's one of the main benefits of PIATs vs Schrecks).
