Why are helicopters immune to RPG rockets?

Shot one american heli 3 times with an rpg. We blasted it with machine guns too and nothing. It didn't even smoke.

Please fix.

What you really should've done is aim for the blades! -everybody for some reason

It's a serious issue, I've hit the UH-1H (flying aluminum can) with 5 RPGs and it only started smoking with no problem with flight. I've gotten to where when I take an RPG-7 it's only for anti-infantry, a PKM can do the job against every vehicle the US has better than the RPG. The vehicles aren't strong, just tbat the RPG-7's don't carry their explosive damage through vehicles and only damages them with the spall cone it creates which means if you don't hit at an angle that will direct the cone at passengers or the engine, nothing will happen.
People say it's from de-sync but I think it's due to the way explosion damage is currently modelled for the M72 LAW and RPG-7.
Another thing could be is that Reforger's vehicle damage model only models the critical components such as the engine, fuel tanks, and tires for now so you have to critically damage the engine to destroy a vehicle whereas the previous games also had health for the "hull" which, if I remember right, would cause the vehicle to explode if it reached 0.

I doubt everyone in a jeep is going to be fine if an RPG hits the back of it, much less the jeep itself IRL.

Should test on the experimental branch, since there are massive changes on explosives there.

We don't play on official or public servers and the issue could be related. On our private experimental server, whenever our heli is hit with an RPG it's immediately apparent. We have never felt like we are taking multiple hits and able to keep going. Usually one hit and we are down or damaged enough that we try to leave the area and land for repair. Typically a second shot is disaster.
