How to use the .86 RPG

Stokes52 · 07-04-2009, 06:22 PM

I love using the RPG. If you're lucky, you can sometimes kill off a whole squad or take down an APC. But thats the problem... if you're lucky...

So, I know about the four second deviation, but what else should I know about the RPG? Basically, what are your tips on the best way to use the RPG kit? For example, what range is the RPG sights zeroed? I'm guessing its somewhere inside 150m but I'm not sure. I always seem to either over or undershoot. Also, how good is it as an anti personnel weapon? Whats the radius that it will actually damage or kill clustered infantry?

Anyways, please feel free to share your tips and tricks when using the RPG, cause I'd love to get better with this awesome weapon.

no its not a bug...the splash damage was decreased so the rpg has become pretty useless agaist inf, so i would advise against engaging bleufor inf without any support and try focusing on amor

I would say the RPG is the easiest to shoot out of all the LATs.
I usually hit by guessing the rocket drop. Just get some training and make yourself familiar with it.
And yes, i think too that the devs could increase the damage a bit. Last time on Karbala i hit an passing humvee in the back and it continued driving, like nothing happened.

I think its zeroed ar 200m or so,

its 7 seconds I think for accuacy, at that point its pretty accurate

its explosive radius is aboslutely crap, so only target vehicles.

The accuracy is alright since RPG-7 generally isn't that accurate at all. But the damage to infantry is crap.

I can top that one. A guy is laying with the HK-21 ( mec-lmg ) on the hotelroof on muttrah and he is spraying like hell all over the city. So i climp my way up there and sneaked behind him. Hit prone. Laid down and started crawling towards him. Until im lying on top of he´s legs and stabbed two hits against hes "backpart". No hits. Instead i get killed from him when he started shooting down towards the city again.. Like the medic bug.

Im like. Yeah.. I should have recorded that one

Anyway I really hope that one was a Hitbox bug. Cause if it wasnt there is a real malfunction in this patch. RPG is being used to target everthing. Soldiers. Apc, tanks alot.
The splash-damage from a rpg should wound a marine within 3 meters. At least in REALITY...

But i think the rpg has an close-range-limit in this game. I also noticed it. At least it feels like it.

A nearby hit should be deadly. Just think of the explosion and all the fragments.
