I would recommend giving the PIAT and Bazooka the same save mod, since PIAT
had better penetration than the early bazooka (43) and only slightly worse
than the late war models (44-).

If a heavy thank has a 3+ save on a d10, a bazooka would have 1/2 chance of
killing a King Tiger by penetrating the frontal armor, while in Real
Life(tm) the chance would be significantly lower.

Which makes me still recommend a penetration based system.
