How to use the .86 RPG

[Stokes52]

The whole thing about RPGs not being able to effectively kill infantry really bugs me, because lets face it, the RPG is NOT an anti armor weapon!! It is an anti PERSONNEL weapon. Hence why it is an RPG, Rocket Propelled Grenade, not a RPAT, Rocket Propelled Anti Tank...

RPGs should first and foremost be able to decimate close quarters infantry squads, just like a Rocket Propelled GRENADE should be able to do. Then, secondly, it should be able to take out HMMVs and APCs, which I think it does well enough. The anti vehicle part is balanced, it just needs to kill infantry a little easier. As it is now, BLUFOR troops see an RPG and its like "Oh, he's got an RPG so that means he is combat ineffective since he cant hit or damage us. Don't worry about him, shoot the other guys". What it SHOULD be, and what it was a little bit in .85 is "Oh $h1t, hit the dirt! RPG on that roof, its gonna tear us a new one!"

You need to stop talking right now. You're making yourself look more and more idiotic with every post.

His logic is stupid, but the point he's trying to make is valid.

Just aim the RPG "AT" the person you are targeting, works fine with me

and yeah the splash damage could have been like in 0.85 :P

and tip for RPGers Stay away from infantry fighting, just hide until you get reports of vehicles like Humvee's/APC's, works just fine. just keep you heads down. there is a reason why the RPG kit doesn't have a Rifle

Just give the poor RPG insurgent atleast one frag warhead. Maybe make it something like 2 AT and 2 frag. Idk. But something has to be done. The way it is now is just sad and frustrating.

Put it back to the 4 second deviation time instead of this whole 7 second deal...7 seconds is too long when it comes to fighting.

[gclark03]

Seriously, nobody stands still for 7 seconds in an active battlefield.

exactly.

Get behind something, go crouch for 7 seconds

stand, fire, get down

I think, stand up outside of cover for whatever seconds is generally the inferior tactic.

True, but 7 seconds is an exaggerated settle time. PR is gradually turning into the 'waiting game' because of changes like these.
