RPG 7V2 is very disappointing! Why?!?!

The RPG is absolutely worthless. 

*You only start with 2 rockets can resupply for 3rd with ammo crate.  

*It does the same damage to vehicles as the recoiless (maybe less even)

* It has slower muzzle velocity and the projectile drops sooner than the recoiless.

* It has little to no splash damage. I saw that little AP icon and thought "ok it's meant for vehicles only maybe" but no its bad at that too (even worse)

Why ruin the most classic and Iconic rocket launcher ever. It was fine the way it was in the portal. Now it's in the base game and it's absolutely useless.

Can the devs please look into this and see why. Maybe it's just us PS4 players I don't know. I do know it upsets me to see my favorite gadget this way. It was top gadget in bf3 and bf4 because iv always been the vehicle hunter / repair slave. 

I thought with the addition of the RPG and the new anti-tank grenades that engineers were finally getting some love and I could do my part but I was wrong as a YouTuber said the AT grenades are bad too 😔

    The trailers I saw and listening to some of the usual youtubers they were all portraying this RPG V2 as an insane and brilliant weapon!

    Are you saying it's rubbish then ?   I haven't had a chance to play this yet.

    @80uwjx4m1chc Yes. There absolutely no benefits to picking it over the recoiless m5 or even the javelin. The javelin does more damage and starts with a max of 3 rockets. The recoiless does the same amount of damage, has a higher muzzle velocity, less drop, does splash damage (for killing infantry), and starts with 3 rockets (can resupply for a 4th rocket which is max).

    The RPG, you start with only 2 rockets can get a 3rd with resupply and can only kill infantry with a direct hit. It has the armor piercing icon in it's picture so I thought it'd at least be good for damage vehicles but it does the same damage as the recoiless. I tested this on a latv4 recon (2 rockets to destroy), A full health m1a5 tank (hit it with 3 rockets and it was on fire so it needed 4 to kill like the recoiless)

    @UP_Hawxxeye Thats how it seems. I'm going to play with it more just for nostalgic purposes (it was my all time favorite gadget in bf3 and bf4 over 500 kills in each game) and see how it does and see if it has something to offer. I'm pretty sure I hit an Apache last night and it didn't do anything cause sparks flew from the heli and it flew off, I couldn't tell if I had missed it and those sparks were from an AA cannon of some sort or what, but it should be one hit kill on attack heli/night bird for sure.

    I will admit it looks better in this game than any other video game to portray it, and the reload animation and reload sound is just ❤️ (chef's kiss). It just need some sort of buff. In bf4 it did great against enemy armor and spash was great for infantry, but it had very slow projectile velocity and bad drop. I got really good at leading shots with it on attack helis though.

    It needs to start with 3 rockets and be buffed up on damage

    @SCUBASTEVE120 is it still only for Boris and Crawford? If it is slower and drops more, it should at least do more damage (logic, I know).

    Remember, this game is a training environment for new devs. None of them worked on anything before BFV, and very few ever played BF3/4.
