xerxes Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 You have to flush them out with your infantry. Check everywhere and be careful about the Piats sneaking behind your infantry screen into areas you've cleared previously. You can spec fire with arty but that's wasteful. -marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnz Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Remember that the PIAT fires with a spring, not like the 'rocket launcher' zooks and fausts allowing it to safely fire from buildings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Manuel Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 ...not to mention that they are very *quiet* while firing as a result of the weapon being spring-fired and not rocket-fired. Very difficult to spot...even after they get some shots off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would refer you to any reasonable reference on how the Projector, Infantry Anti-Tank actually works. They can be fired in/from a building but they have the same amount of noise on firing as a "twelve-bore" shotgun (I wonder why ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liebchen Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Originally posted by edward_n_kelly: One of the great fallacies of WWII - "...PIAT fires with a spring..." !! Um... a "fallacy" is a conclusion arrived at from an illogical and disconnected set of facts, say for example, "The Nazis were German, therefore all Germans are Nazis." I think that you meant "misconception." I am curious, though, about the PIAT mechanism, as I've also been under this misconception. Just how was it propelled?
