Commando Archive

Yeah the guy had on composite, probably at least 80% or maybe 90%, but I thought the heavy armor piercing affect would take away some of the effectiveness on the armor. I don't have any pistol skills, what does that have to do with rocket launchers?

I didnt think it was possible to hit anyone with it in pvp lol.

In PvE, a rocket launcher would hit for an average of 6000 points. Give it a 75% reduction for PvP and you're down to 1500 points. If the guy was wearing 90% resistance composite armor, you're down to 150.

So depending on how hard you hit and how much resistance was on the guy's armor, you end up with your 550 points of damage.

And yes, it is nearly impossible to hit a player in PvP with a rocket launcher.

Yes it does.

AP doesn't lower resists, it just improves the damage. AP3 vs AR1 (Composite) makes you do (1.25x1.25x Combat Spam) damage. That figure is then modified by resists.

Let's see...

3000 x
1.5 (all damage) x
0.25 (pvp reduction) x
1.25x1.25 (AP) x
0.3 (70% Resist Comp)
= 527 Actual HAM damage

So there ya go.

Razorwolf is right. AP works in PvP, which is why rifleman do so much damage even against armored opponents. (AP3 T21) This is also the main gripe about commandos and PvP. Even with our RL we just cant deal the same damage and in not nearly the same amount of time.
