Please don't put words in my mouth. I consider the USF ATG one of the best in the game, perhaps only behind the Zis gun.
I said the weaknesses of the USF ATG would not be nearly as apparent on the Axis side, because of comparably lower armor values for Allied tanks. This statement remains generally true no matter the anecdotal (and quite often doctrinal) Allied heavy tank you choose to bring up. Do you not agree that the USF ATG, without any extra pen rounds, would perform better on the Axis side than the Allied one? At t0? If so, why not?
If you agree, on the other hand, tell me why you think the OKW needs it's AT capabilities buffed so signifigantly and so early on?
It's true that the USF AT gun is better in axis hands than their own, it's also true that axis AT guns are better in allied hands than their own. It's stupid how your stolen AT gun is better than the one your faction gets, but it applies to both sides, which is why you always steal your opponets AT guns.
OKW needs AT ability early because currently people think clowncar is ok. I'm not sure people would think the same if the OST 250 or OKW 221 were nondoc and running over USF because no snares. But for some reason it's ok when flamer engineers do it vs OKW. The fact of the matter is though that the raketen any way you slice it is a piece of cheese and terrible. It's literally the OKW maxim. it gets deathlooped on retreat, the model is garbage which prevents it from being fixed, and does not function in its role correctly. I'm sure most people would agree with getting a pak 40, even though the price would be higher, would be a lot better.
