Rocket Launcher & rockets

[Pazuzu]

Been using the Rocket Launcher (RL) during some Blood Moons.
I'm not sure if I'm using it wrong, but RL doesn't seem to have an impact at all.

I feel I've wasted point in maxing out explosive weapons, I hardly see an effect of the rockets.
I guess HE rocks are for high dmg, and frags are for bleed and dismemeberment.

At this point it feels more effecient to spend time on making 7.62 ammo adn shotgun shells rather than rockets.

Am I missing something?

I think so, my team has a heavy weapons expert and he uses rockets all the time
to save our asses with geat effect. He says, use the frags on groups and HE on
bigger things like the acid spitting cops. He also fires down from a platform.
He sits up and overwatches us on the ground on bloodmoons with a sniper rifle and
launcher. Saved me many times...

The rocket launcher was never anything special. In A16 I'd use exploding crossbow bolts or the assault rifle against pukers. I haven't made exploding crossbow bolts in A17 yet, but the assault rifle got me through Day 14 just fine against the pukers.

I'm hoping it's somewhat worth it. I've been dropping points into it for the next blood moon and buying rockets.

Do advanced bolts count as explosive weapons? So if I get them later they should cripple and dismember?
