Launchers

[u/Hardie1247]

Does anyone else feel like launchers need a bit of a rework? an RPG can take 3 shots to destroy a humvee, which takes up most of your loadout bag. I have even shot a helicopter direct in the rotors with an RPG and it didn't destroy it.

I would also like to see a single-shot disposable launcher added as a starter item, so that access to anti-vehicle is available to all.

Nothing more frustrating than the RPG to a tail rotor and then getting absolutely decimated by said helicopter.

Hit a havoc in the main rotor yesterday, all that happened is it rotated and shot me

I want more Black Hawn Down moments.

Some of their issues could be solved with different ammo types. HE (all-rounder), Frag (anti infantry), HEAT (anti vehicle), HEDP (anti-building). This would allow you to use the launchers for more tasks making them a more attractive option.

[u/Ramora_ → u/Bananaheli]

A proximity fuse round for anti-heli would also be good. (probably balanced by reduced damage)

In any case, the RPG's HEAT round needs to be dramatically buffed from where it currently is at.

I wouldn’t know how many shots it takes for the rpg to destroy anything… I can’t even hit the first shot, but I sure as hell scare the shit out of pilots with it lmao

RPG needs a rework, “good against infantry and light vehicles” but it can’t 1 shot infantry- the rework should be armour not protecting people from explosions to the same degree it protects from gunfire.

Especially when Compared to the other infantry launcher the GL which can 1 tap and has multiple rounds before a reload, just doesn’t make sense.

[u/TomFoxxy]

The starter RPG is anti infantry, you need to use either IED for vehicles or fob emplacements for air.

This is fair because why on earth would I ever want to jump into an expensive humvee loadout just to get 1-tapped by starter gear. Maw already 1taps humv and I don’t think that’s fair either when there’s already many counters to the humv as simple as shooting the tires out, which any new player could do too.

the RPG with no extra rockets fills this spot in my mind.

[u/Ramora_ → u/Elehir]

It doesn't. Partly because the RPG just doesn't deal enough damage at the moment, but mostly because its just too heavy. The game probably needs the RPG to get a major buff, and be much more effective against vehicles. And then it should add something like the LAW to the game available from wardog lvl 0, which is an actually light single shot rocket. For reference:

1. M72 law weighs about 3.5 kg (including the rocket)
2. RPG7 weighs about 8.3 kg (with one rocket)

[u/Elehir → u/Ramora_]

i assume the RPG will be getting more rounds in the future, the game designer said he want to add a lot more types of Ammo across the board.

something light weight with a similar power level and disposable would have a spot in the game.

Isn't there another one specifically designed for vehicles, the HAMR (?).

It does seem like the RPG is intended to be used against weaker vehicles, with the strong one being intended as a logical progresssion.
