The firebomb I felt was the best way to exemplify my point that it's to overpowering to do it this way. Made my point didn't it? ;D
You will as soon as you show why it's perfectly alright for firebombs to breach power armour.
Other than that, I prefer to have "superior" weaponry (bolters, plasma and melta weapons) to use their penetration against toughness on a 2:1 base.

Hey hey Im not critizing the weapon's own rule, I really don't understand why it has such a nasty AP to be honest, I think they wanted to make it sorta like fire where it mostly ignores armor because well... it's fire! As for power armor.... *shrugs* no clue! Just rule it's AP 6 vs carapace and bellow armor.
As for "superior" weaponry... I still don't see a reason to because the superiorness of the weapon is already built into the weapons rules but I digress, it's not going to matter to much because it's atleast 2:1 and anyone not wearing carapace or above is already in searious trouble from the bolt shell let alone the melta or plasma weapon.
I also wish DH went 1 step further and gave AP for armor based on damage type to, give us a larger variety of armor and make the system a bit more robust without needing to many more rules.
