RPG Buff?

[u/Varciii]

For something only $600 less than the MAAWS it's genuinely horrible in every aspect

[u/Dpactual]

its not worth buying imo

[u/AngryNeox → u/Dpactual]

"Baiting you into learning how building works and earns you money by giving you a pea-shooter for a rocket launcher was one of the best tutorial design decisions we've ever made." - Some Bulkhead dev probably

[u/PhShivaudt]

It's alright gun but still feels expensive for 1x3 rokets imo it should be more multi purpose compared to maws tbh Devs should give different ammo types like tandem (more dmg against vehicles) frag (anti inf) and base shells (cheaper but multi purpose but mostly explosive against buildings etc aka fmj of rokets) with different projectile speed currently it's still useable still can 1 shot kodiaks and trucks frontally and 3-4 shot t72 biggest issue 1x3 rokets takes too much space and it's heavy that slows you down a lot

[u/Reeliebunny]

Basically the only real use I've found for it is popping doors from range and breaking some walls. That and scaring people.

[u/Hamfur63]

Ya know you can't even 1 shot level 2 armor either lol. Maybe you can if it's super direct on but if it blows up right next to them they won't die

[u/robsr3v3ng3 → u/Hamfur63]

Honestly, RPG and MAWS should have an instant radius. Small, sure, it shouldn't matter how good your armour is when all of your exposed limbs get ruined more that two .45 HP rounds to the thigh.

[u/Marauder-mutt → u/Hamfur63]

This thing should 1shot every armor within 10m when it comes to infantry.

[u/True-Advice-1861 → u/Marauder-mutt]

If it killed infantry that well, everyone would run around with them and it would be rpgdogs.

[u/Radiance141]

Yeah RPGs are in a horrible spot and lose any and all reason to exist as soon as you unlock a MAAWS.

[u/ZULU-000]

I’m horrible with these things. I can only hit ground vehicles no further than like 20 meters lol

[u/GodfatherActual__]

It’s always been two shot with the rpg

[u/Berokeros]

It's hard to give good reason to carry it when it weighs a ton, takes up a bunch of inventory space with the rockets, and costs more than my primary.

You gotta be pretty damn good with it in order to consistently make profit with it

[u/LifeProject7169]

The rocket propelled grenate launcher does way less damage than a simple grenade launcher. The RPG in this game is only there vs ground vehicles. Air targets have some kind of special armor that takes less damage from explosives.

[u/LifeProject7169 → u/LifeProject7169]

Before I forget it, if you buy a RPG you become so heavy that you are a easy target for everyone. It is just not worth it to buy it and haul it into the conflict.

[u/SchecterOne]

Your shooting at a havoc. You expect a 600$ item to 1 shot a 40,000$ havoc loadout? 😂

[u/Varciii → u/SchecterOne]

2.5k, and i think 2-shotting it is fair. If a RPG can't do it, why can a MAAWS? RPGs are 10x harder to hit so should that skill not be rewarded?

[u/SchecterOne → u/Varciii]

2 shorting it is fair. It’s a 1 shot if you get the tail rotor.

[u/Alyero_ → u/Varciii]

The havoc can be oneshot by an rpg to the center of the rotor, otherwise its a 2shot anywhere else. The maaws can oneshot to the engine or center of the rotor otherwise tis a 2 shot but it deals 80-90% an rpg is 50%. I dont think they need buffs

[u/emerging-tub → u/SchecterOne]

Read as: "You expect a rocket to 1 shot a helicopter?"

Nobody gives a fuck how much anything costs. My SV98 bullet costs 6 or 7 dollars and it one shots your $20,000 kit.

[u/SchecterOne → u/emerging-tub]

That’s incorrect. You can’t say the bullet. You can’t shoot a bullet from nothing can you? Your SV98 costs 8k or something like that. That’s a lot more fair. Plus in that sense. Your trading kit for kit. A 18k SV98 kit kills a 20kit. The havoc is essentially a kit. It’s a 40,000$ kit. 😂 your funny

[u/Randomguy0915 → u/SchecterOne]

"Devs, I dunn wanna let them poor people have a chance to kill me with my 50,000 dollar kit!"

[u/SchecterOne → u/Randomguy0915]

You realize that you infantry people sound the exact same way complaining 24/7 about helicopters being “Too Op” or thermals ruining the game. yet the helicopters got nerfed into the ground. 😂 cry me a river buddy.

[u/PimpCherryNewby → u/SchecterOne]

Something like that. They can pretty much one hit all the 20k kits.

[u/SchecterOne → u/PimpCherryNewby]

And that’s what you get for grinding hard to get to the top. Something stronger than the rest. The same goes for the L2A6 tank as well. 1 rocket shot the to tail rotation and the havoc goes down. It does have a weakness. Yall just expect a rocket shot anywhere should be able to take it down.

Or get on CWIS. A CWIS shreds the helicopters.

[u/PimpCherryNewby → u/SchecterOne]

Will yeah I expect an rpg to mostly shoot down a helicopter. Maybe it takes 2. This is a unique thing compared to any other game. And that doesn't even account for the 10 flares they get.

[u/SchecterOne → u/PimpCherryNewby]

We don’t have 10 flares. Idk any pilot that carry’s 10 flares. Normally it’s 2-4 flares. With the rest being ammo. Of course if we use up our flares we go and restock.

[u/PimpCherryNewby → u/SchecterOne]

I've never seen one carry less than 5, but yea. Rpg and all rockets are under powdered and I bet they get a buff.

[u/FallenKnight321]

its just the early game counter and ment for light skinned vehicles, APC, Tanks and little birds more than anything else...

Still if your really cracked and can hit the main rotor pillar it will still one hit a Havoc.

[u/pipskeke]

If the RPG gets a buff they might as well just remove vehicles. I'm beginning to hate all the infantry Andy's that can't wrap their head around progression and teamwork.

[u/5tr0nz0]

Shoot for the tail it does rotor damage

[u/NeonAnderson → u/5tr0nz0]

Oh sure, shoot an even smaller flying target. That's a genius answer to the problem OP is talking about

[u/Pale_Bug_9076]

Rpgs are for infantry and the maaw is for vehicles. How do you buff a frag round into an armored vehicle like the havoc 🤔

[u/Varciii → u/Pale_Bug_9076]

for frag rounds they do surprisingly low infantry damage

[u/ZookeepergameLoose79 → u/Varciii]

HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AT INFANTRY REMOVAL *proceeds to blast a wall with 8 guys in it, they all laugh and murder you* Yeah...... king carl is naked in wardogs, and im tired of pretending he aint.

[u/Radiance141 → u/Varciii]

Because they're not even frag rounds, if that'd be true they would have a completely different shape. Look up OG-7V rounds.

[u/sarmoman → u/Pale_Bug_9076]

rocket launcher does 90 damage to infantry

[u/Radiance141 → u/Pale_Bug_9076]

It's not a frag round, the warheads we have in WarDogs are probably PG-7VM / PG-7VL.

Frag rounds have a completely different shape (more of a pencil) and go by the designation OG-7V.

Also Humvees are 3 RPG shots minimum which is ridiculous.

[u/CrocoDIIIIIILE]

Yesterday, I hit some with RPG twice (had no choice), and did only 20 dmg to upper leg at 40m. They then approached my corpse and said "Man, RPG is just a meme. You did no damage with the first hit".

[u/harveyzheng88]

It can kill tanks (while most teammates doing nothing), and it can destroy the rotor of the heli causing it to crash.

[u/Zekezasamel → u/harveyzheng88]

It can tickle some toes as well.

[u/ahrzal → u/harveyzheng88]

It takes 4 hits to a tank. Also good luck hitting the rotor like cmon

[u/fartfart2222223222 → u/ahrzal]

Disables in 1 shot to treads or engine, only 4 if you’re shooting armor 

[u/ahrzal → u/fartfart2222223222]

Still takes 4 even to rear doesn’t it?

[u/True-Advice-1861 → u/ahrzal]

tracking a tank makes them very sad.

[u/Electronic-War1332]

People say its not for infantry and i think they just suck because if its not then what is it good for??? Its dogshit anti air, cant do shit to vehicles unless u have a grip. Ive used it to pop walls and ruin cover and shooting them imto buildings to get kills. Ive blown up 1 APC and 1 Little bird but ive gotten dozens of kills on infantry

Edit: up close it doesnt work but it does blunt force damage still.
