The Piat challenge!

Mr.Smith got me thinking in another thread... Handheld AT does deflection damage, and the Piat more than most...

Yes we all know it is a fucking useless weapon but... Mathematically at least... This might be worth trying...

The Piat hits nothing on autofire, but does full deflection damage so irrespective of the opponents armour value it will deal full damage. Hence a PIV with 640 health should die to 6 hits. One of those nasty bastard Panthers to 7.

So, as we all love annoying the Axis fanbois yet another challenge, to one shot Axis armour!

The rules, Piat blob of 3 or 4 engineers, dual wielding Piats. Find Axis armour. Attack ground wherever they are likely to roam. See if you can twat them in one volley. Save a replay and post it if you succeed.

1 point per PIV, 2 per nasty bastard Panther and bonus points for Tiger, KT or whatever other monsters they throw at you. 3 points for a rage quit, 4 if the Axis gets stroppy about your mother in chat or calls you gay. 5 points for anyone who causes a Piat OP thread. 10 points if it is posted by Bannerman, PenisRumMuncher or whatever his fucking name is.

Sadly Latch has shaved his moustache however the prize will be equally as crap as the currently unclaimed UC challenge one.

Enjoy.

Been there, done that. Do PIAT-totting commandos count?

That's from before the 25 February patch. I'm not sure if/how you can play replays from previous versions.

This one features 1.5 snipers being counter-sniped by PIATs; the first one got knocked off to 50% HP, panicked, retreated and got killed by a friend's Cromwell. The second sniper was pure PIAT.

You can also see a pre-nerf Panzerwerfer getting counter-baraged with PIATs while it is firing at my blob.

The finale is also quite explosive, to say the least.

This one's fresh from last night.

When life gives you lemons (but no fuel), you buy PIATs; loads of them.

There's so much OKW armour murdered in this replay that I'm sure that at least one of the Panthers must have died to a single volley.

Yeah Commandos are allowed I guess. 2 points for a nasty bastard Panther, was there rage or chat?

PIATs aren't great but often the threat of 3-4 in a blob is enough to back down armor. Been trying Sapper spam recently so I'll post any interesting results I get.
