Thread: Are rocket launchers worth it?

I could probably go with the HPBC, but rocket launchers I've found are more common, at least on the vendor of the weaponsmith I shop from they are.


But yes, bikes do make nice targets for them too, though it only takes abouttwo shots from the flamethrower to knock one out.

Since the flame nerf my rockets are now my bread and butter I love those things. I like being able to sit back in a battle and wail away at opponents with my RL, but it is not exactly cost effective. My PA provides me with rockets really cheap, but if i were paying 50k a RL i would have to say no they are deffinatly not worth the price. I mean how much pleasure can u take in bringing down a PvP opponent if it just cost you 2-8k to do so, are you actually winning the battle or did that person just nail you for 8k? When it comes to turrets I feel they are definatly cost effective and quite accurate at master (though i still find that i have sugnefiicant miss rate on moving targets). It's really just personal preferance I have always enjoyed using the RL but i know many other commandos who never pull theres out unless they are facing a turret.

The subject says it all... Novice commando here and I picked up 2 of these for 50k each yesterday. They are slow, haven't hit all that often, have a limited number of shots and kill my HAM faster than what I'm attacking does. By what I have seen, I would have to say the rockets are a poor weapon compared to my other options. Anyone have success or a situation in which these things are vital?

Thanks!





Next time, just /banktip me 50K and save yourself the pain and aggravation...



Seriously
