They have enough time to set up, though.

indeed! The first 1 seems pretty much far away. The third one is a bit closer tho. And the targets are static. But I was impressed with those shots. PR is scaled down ofcourse. So it might be correct ranges. And the RPG's in those movies are looking like Afghan/Iraqi military RPG's. So they are probably well maintained. While the insurgents might not care so much for there weaponry. No expert so I dont know if that can affect a flight of a missile so much.

Well you dont know, and we shouldnt make RPG's worse becouse some insurgents might not maintain them real well, i bet theirs plenty of insurgents that just clean their weaponry and such?

I dont see any difference between a ''insurgent'' RPG and a ''ANA'' RPG, but we nerfe the insurgent one becouse they are well... insurgent?

I don't know why everyone pro-rpg is defending it soo much. It seems like just a lost battle, the videos do prove otherwise honestly you do not need to hold one steady for 7 seconds to hit someone from 50m just by using commonsense. The talis in the videos always shoot faster than that, but someone will always make up an excuse like suppression and such.

from wiki about range
Accuracy limits the standard RPG-7 to a practical range of 50 m, although it can reach 150 or even 300 m in skilled hands. It has an indirect fire (bombardment) range to 920 m, limited by the 4.5-second self-destruct timer.*

also look at the warheads they use, Modern Firearms - RPG-7 antitank grenade launcher
In the videos and tv you always see an insurgent sporting one of the first two heat rounds. So why aren't they Anti-personal weapons in pr? Its not like they weren't any use as armour piercing originally anyways when even a humvee could slug 2 of them, which is what the heat model should do anyways.

If it were to be fixed wouldn't it be better just to have slight deviation normally with a small settle time, instead of no deviation laser aiming with a 7second settle time, which from what I remember is what one of the devs said it was nerfed for.

You got me, damn it lol...Johnny-IED is totaly other person then me....ahahahah.

Or to whom ur talking to ?


You can keep deviation to 7 seconds...most important is that the splash damage should be increased.Like it is in Reallife.

Its alright guys the at weapons on the blufor team will be balanced accordingly in the next release -> YouTube - Eryx Oops! [Edited]

[steve_06-07]

Since their talking about the RPG is now just AT instead of Anti infantry, does that mean they might add other types of warheads to it, like the OG-7V Splitter?

ok its time for my 2 cents

Insurgents using TBG-7V thermobaric
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bd7_1182000109

ther is other movie with Insurgents using TBG-7V but i cant locate at this time


RPG-29
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=02e_1241784975


And Important ! in most of thous movies from youtobe ,liveleak ect. that showing rpg being shot by some one , ther rpg`s settlement time is no longer than 2-5 seconds and usually its 3 seconds- and they hits even far away targets

just watch and count ,

sorry fort my bad English

i really think people should stop using 1 or 2 liveleak videos as reference when commenting on things.

lets see some facts, figures on accuracy/penetration ect and sources.

Im not defending the stand point or assaulting it because I havent got any facts. Im just stating some food for thought on this discussion. As to why the devs might have chosen to do something.
