The second PIAT team adds redundancy to the platoon's anti-armour capabilities. The PIAT isn't that good an anti tank weapon, but its handy to keep the lighter and recon stuff at arms reach. Having only one team makes it a bit vulnerable, so the extra team should help build a crossfire too.
A fourth Infantry section provides an additional support element to my core three section platoon. An additional section is a support option in Chain of Command and an extra nine Elite infantrymen are always welcome!
