RPG's are broken...

[xWintersunx]

Today I logged in as usual. I open the game client and check out my weapons and their attachments. I switch over and make sure my RPG booster is still Active. You know the saying Luck favors the prepared. So I see everything is in order after my inspection and I log into one of my favorite maps Oman, due to it's large number of vehicles. I'm inside the game having fun, enjoying the MP5 I just proudly purchaced the other day with free credits, when I see an enemy tank coming over the hills from base A towards base C.

I duck behind cover so I don't get my head blown off by its massive cannon. I pull out my Tracer dart gun and peek around and fire it onto the tank. I then pull out my Boosted RPG and fire directly into the tank. My heart sinks as I see the RPG explode and damage the tank for +16 damage. So I think hmmm maybe it didn't hit, so I reload my RPG and fire again at the tank with yet another direct hit and it suffers +25 damage and does not explode. Only when a friendly helicoptor flys over head and launches a volley of rockets into it does it finallly destroy this tank.

I repeated this process over and over with direct hits on vehicles and found that they just don't work most of the time. Even humvee's and other vehicles are not being blown to hell by RPG's direct hits. Once in a while I got a hit that did the damage you used to see from RPG's, but it is so random now that they have become highly inefective against vehicles. The best hit I have seen as of yet was for +303 on an APC. 303!!!! Thats rediculous, they claimed to have increased its direct damage but I see no increase, and only a broken rocket.

The RPG booster got nerfed this morning to make it less powerfull , and im happy of that , no more RPG spam on infantry maps

[Strac.CRO]

it's probably spash damage which is reduced (direct hit damage is still strong)

[Vladulain]

That's damage done to the driver I believe.

Thats what you deserve, booster noob!

[xWintersunx]

Let me say this again...I used a tracer on the targets as I always do. I can gaurantee that it was a direct hit. It's bugged or glitched or flat out broken.

Btw, I have yet to spend on red cent of real life money on this game. I buy boosters with the silver credits I earn in game each day.

Ok so the RPG booster is nerfed, how about the annoying mortar strike?

It was fun while it lasted seeing a whole herd of orange tags on the second floor of the building across from the parking garage, firing a boosted RPG and then seeing a page full of names in yellow.

O well looks like the tanks will be rolling right along.

Still a booster noob. Honorable guys do unequip a gadget if they get a booster for free.

It happens a lot, I don't think this has anything to do with the booster but when I use my RPG on vehicles; sometimes it barely does 50 damage and even may pass right through the vehicle. Probably a bug.

I haven't tried the boosted mortars as of yet, since I haven't played my recon for days now. I found Mortar Strikes to be not that fun in the first place...I'll try it out later and let you know.

Testet the booster since the update is out and here my experiences:

Direct hit on vehicle ~400+
Direct hit on infantary ~60+
Damage to nearby(to vehicle) infantary ~16+
Hit nearby(1-3m) driving car ~0+

I trained the ability to see how much HP vehicles left and see everytime that 1 boosted rpg do half of HP damage.
You just got damage to someone nearby to the tank.
