PIATs firing from buildings?

[Norm]

I note the main rules don't allow Support Weapons that use the OFT to fire from buildings except for anti-tank rifles. I was convinced that in an earlier version of this system, PIAT were also exempted because they were spring loaded.

Checking the Normandy module, it simply updates PIAT by saying they cannot fire from a higher elevation because the bomb slips out the tube.

BUT .... in that module, there are no higher elevations on the maps other than those provided by level 2 buildings.

So have the rules changed and this is an editing mistake or am I missing something? or even getting confused due to the number of different systems I play. thanks in anticipation - Norm.

This exception is, for now, back in the V5 of the rules so hang on

Thank you. It seems such a sensible rule, that I am guessing it is a safe bet that V5 will reclaim it.
