Personally I will use the RPG as a default option because it has a better burst potential than the recoiless and a bit better blast radius. It can also lock on to designated targets like the recoiless.If I want to focus specifically for vehicles I will use the Lissile because it has the flexibility of being able to be piloted towards both ground and air targets.While I have retired the recoiless, I know at least one person who is really good at nailing annoying helicopters with it.While I love the romance of the Javelin, I just do not find enough people who designate targets so that I can take advantage of its more fun Top-Down mode.The Javelin has so much potential vs camping snipers as well if another player decides to be a good bro and uses the tracer dart either on a sniper directly or on the terrain very close to them.

@UP_Hawxxeye Lis. I don't see a reason to take either of the other two engineers as they are so much worse than her.

@VOLBANKER_PCThe RPG will be stronger after this patch on Crawford due to his new perk about having him carry +1 more launcher ammo

@UP_Hawxxeye Depends on what's happening at the time. If we're being dominated by air vehicles, then I'll switch to the stinger or Lis rockets to see if we can down a few. If I see ground vehicles dominating or attacking a particular area then I'll drop in with Recoilless (due to the extra round) or the Javelin. Javelin is good at persuading tanks to back off, even without a top-down hit. They are also a satisfying 1-hit kill on the LAV.

I usually don’t bother with missiles.You get 2 RPG’s which is not enough to take out most bigger land units.3 if someone drops an Ammo bag, but that occurs so rarely you can’t count on it.Same with Anti-air missiles.Then there’s M5 Recoilless, but it has so long reload animation it’s ridiculous to use.Contrast this with AT Mines:You get 3 on spawn, which if well-placed will give you a very good chance of getting a (multi)kill on any land unit that drives into them.

Which launchers do you prefer to use right now?

But with Lis you can have both the missiles and the AT mines !

@UP_Hawxxeye Currently using Lissiles while working on T1 badge for her. It's an absolute blast (💥😄 get it?) Using those rockets to kill helis and campers. Even managed to snipe a few pilots out of said helis.

No idea why people complain about helis being op and lissiles being weak. I manage to kill multiple helis in a single round pretty easily.

Lissles are an absolute nightmare on PS5; that might change with the new update, I don't know, but it won't remove their sour taste from my mouth.

I either use stiglas when maining AA or I will use ol' reliable AKA the Javelin if I wanna go (land) vehicle busting. It targets through some smoke and goes high enough it can still hit people trying to run away which is very nice.

Nobody uses the tracking dart or SOFLAM anymore though which is a real shame

@UP_Hawxxeye I never really got along with Lis 🙂 Dunno why.

Boris’ turret is much more useful for me.
I have problems seeing enemies a lot of the time, so I like having my own personal spotting crutch!

@TTZ_Dipsy Have you tried the RPG? It’s nice!

@UP_LordPlumber Lis’ missile is borderline impossible to use on console for anything requiring you to maneuvre it in any other direction than straight ahead (at least on Xbox where I play)

Lis Missile is what I prefer.
