US rocket launchers

[Nick Nape'em]

the AT4 is not really up to the task for taking on T-80s because...well it wasent make for destroying MBTs neither is the SMAW they were made for destroying outdated tanks and technicals, so how about adding the MAAWS rocket launcher? that thing can compete with the RPG-29. oh and question does explosive reactive armor and cage armour work?

[Nocturnal Supremacy]

There's been several discussions here about the US acquiring some sort of "heavy" AT option.

The general consensus was yes, they do need something to help counter top-tier armour, I think our suggestions back then were indeed the MAAWS (Carl Gustaf) or Javelin ATGM

[Enji or Not]

Gepanzerte Faust covered that first part pretty well.
About reactive armour and cage: I don't know about reactive armour. Is that the panels that fall off when you shoot the sides of T80Us? If so, that stuff does work afaik. Cages don't.

Then GRM needs Kornet Technical to balance this.

They already have some heavy AT units.

What units? RPG-29? And USA has TOW HMMWV which is much, much better.

The topic is about infantry rocket launchers not vehicle mounted atgms.

They have technical SPG9s, which are also very powerful.

Anyway, I agree with the US needing heavier AT for infantry part. MAAWS would be nice. I would really love to have Javelins, though... There was once a mod that had working Javelins that played very nicely, I don't think it's around anymore.
Not quite on topic, but I think AT mines would be nice. Maybe they can't destroy tanks entirely but at least the tracks should be damaged or the vehicle disabled completely so engineers have to be sent.

i read somewhere about the AT4 and the SMAW. it said that both launchers are useless against anything above a standard T-80 so thats where the MAAWS comed in. the FGM-32 javlin is basically a 100% chance to destroy the tank (sorry i cant spell) and the LAC TOW unit is too flimsy to be useful...at least for me it is

soldier with RPG is unit, humvee with TOW is also unit, they both cost points. If you want to make one faction stronger, you must make other faction stronger too

If we buff USA, we must buff GRM too, or USA will be OP.

Grm and rebels wastly outperform usa and uaf. Usa is only op in rts mode, otherwise it is a weaker faction.

At4 itself is fine, the problem is that other factions get 3 more rpg shots for same price and t4 inf of usa has worst rpg in the game.

the At4 was made to stop a technical or a basic model T-72, not a T-80BV or a T-80U

[Romich]

It can kill them to the side, t80u can tank 1200 pen ap and atgm shells frontally, though atgm damage works differently than rpg one, i.e rpgs oneshot those t80Us to the side more often than their 1000 pen atgms.

[Nick Nape'em]

Weird because i read somewhere that the AT4 wouldnt be a useful asset against MBTs

i mean i once bought an AT4 team and fired all 4 launchers into the side of a T-80U and it just turned and waisted the team
