Notice that since they come with HEAT ammo, they are much more effective anti-tank weapons at long range in early war than most of the things in the German arsenal (barring good old 88 mm). Downside being that they are not particularly accurate at long ranges (and the previously mentioned ammo limit).

In later war, they are not quite that impressive, since the Germans get plenty of other HEAT weapons, and the recoilless rifle starts having more trouble penetrating heavier tanks that start popping up - though it should still stand a chance against medium tanks.
Late war only sees an improvent in russian armor, US/UK remains mostly shermans, and the gun might still be useful against those...
