Lately I have been doing RPG ambushes and I found the RPG damage vs Humvee and trucks to be unrealistically weak. It seems that logi trucks and Humvee survive direct RPG hits! Today in Ramiel one of my squad mates hit a logi truck, and the thing just spun around and went back to base :/ I find it greatly unrealistic that a Humvee or truck can simply shrug off AT rockets and simply smoke. It is funny that you can cripple a stryker in one shot, but a truck will be completely fine lol. I'm not asking for damage boasts vs. apcs/tanks, I just want the RPG to seriously hurt light vehicles/kill them.

What I suggest:
1. If this is a bug please look into it.
2. If not please add some sort of disabled mode to light vehicles. A Humvee can't simply drive away when hit a by a RPG.
3. Make RPG 1 hit kills against light vehicles or burn in one hit.

It is hard to be an insurgent and the RPG is surprisingly unrewarding. Ty for reading and ty for the excellent mod.

I find RPGs will kill light armor (apc) in one hit, but trucks and humvees take a few hits.. =\

Ya I agree APC armore need and incress and HMV armore decress. Mean I reall life if the RPG hit it and it didnt destory it, it would atleast kill everyone inside because of the pressure.

Depends. There are lots of people which survived RPG hits while in Humvee. I've met some.

RPGs are HEAT rounds, which use a jet of molten copper to pierce the enemy armor. It won't create any super pressure to kill the crew inside. Unless the passengers are in the way of the jet, they will usually be unharmed. Only a HE RPG could harm all of the passengers, but those are really rare.

Same it might be a bug :/ The glichy nature of the RPG damage really makes me dislike it :/
I wouldn't mind if the APCs got an armored boast, but the truck and Humvee need their armor nerfed (it shouldn't take more than 1 RPG to kill it).

As for the RPGs, well, IRL a humvee could survive RPG hits and still work. I think that the current system is really balanced. Humvees still offer protection while not being tanks. A single RPG hit on a Humvee won't make it spontaneously combust....

I love shooting the door of a humvee with an RPG at 100 meters, only to have it's gunner swing around and shoot me dead. Whatever happened to game play? I'm sure in RL strykers can take more than 1 RPG hit to hurt! You haven't even explained how trucks are magically immune to RPGs!

In real life RPGs are much weaker than depicted in-game, so why not switch the RPG role up a bit. Really strong against light vehicles and weaker against heavier armor. It really sucks to set up an ambush for 20 min, successfully shoot a Humvee that was driving like mad, to only to have his gunner shoot you dead. It is frustrating and stupid. It also dumb that small arms fire seems more effective against a Humvee than RPGs are.

Make APC stronger against RPG, and make other vehicles weaker.

I think its fine with the humvees but the trucks take too much for it to be realistic

It really depends where it hits. As someone said it doesnt exblode the vehicle, it pearces it. If you hit engine, vehicle down but If you hit back/side theres chance it would be able to RTB.

Most of the time it doesn't RTB. The .50 cal gunner turns around and blows your face off. Here is the thing I wouldn't mind if the RPG killed/seriously hurt all of the passengers, but the fact is that the RPG doesn't do much to actually stop the damn thing. If I shot an RPG at a Humvee, the guy exposed on the .50 caliber machine gun shouldn't be able to turn around and cut me down.

Think about it guys, an RPG cripples an APC in one shot but can't stop the less armored light vehicles. Something is wrong with that argument.

How bout light vehicles being tracked on RPG hit?

did the logi truck have RPG netting?
