RPG zeroing issue

This has a real-world basis. Rocket launchers and recoilless rifles usually have fairly low projectile velocity, so the drop is much more noticeable. And the projectile is also much larger than a normal bullet, the trajectory is more obvious: it rises first, then falls, and only later crosses the sight line.

When you pull out the launcher, the reticle changes from your main weapon’s crosshair to the launcher’s own reticle, which sits lower.

The round starts out traveling upward at a fairly noticeable angle, which is why at short to mid range it can fly over a target instead of landing where players expect. In practice, that means against a target at the same height as you, you may need to aim lower than expected.

I believe the team is aware that some players have given feedback about struggling to adjust to this, but I don’t have any updates to share at the moment regarding any changes or tuning.

Why are you applying "real world" basis to anything? Where's the "real world basis" for air vehicles having "Below Radar" in a game where every anti-air weapon is a heat-seeker, not radar guided. In real life the Gepard can shoot for 35 seconds continually, unlike BF6 where it overheats instantly, it also annihilates air vehicles unlike BF6 where it mildly inconveniences them.

There's no magic "Below Radar" in real life.

There's no magic flares that instantly break the lock of anything you fire at it. There's no magic mid-air repairs in real life. There's no magic "hover over a helipad and instantly reload all your weapons" in real life. In real life if a air vehicle smashes into the ground or a tree or an electrical power line tower or a building it blows up or crashes, here it bounces off like rubber and flies away.

So why apply real world logic to the RPG?

And even if you do accept that, the RPG's aren't like the PIAT from WW2. They don't drop until most of the way through it's flight time.

This is a stupid nerf to appease air sweats. Revert it.

RPG's might be "low velocity" compared to a rifle, but there's no noticable drop until more than halfway through it's flight distance, which would be like 300 meters. There's no reason to nerf the RPG by adding this stupid zeroing change. Having to point the RPG into the ground to get a hit is stupid.

Revert it.

Why does DICE cater so much to air sweats? You will NEVER appease them. They will ALWAYS complain. But DICE constant cater to them by nerfing every anti-air weapon in the game.

The last patch nerfed the IGLA, nerfed the Stinger, nerfed the Laser Designator which nerfed the Javelin and the Stinger and Igla at painted targets, nerfed the Vehicle Guided missiles and the RPG! All to cater to air whiners. It's pathetic.

It took DICE a long time to get 2042 into a good state, but the moment it was, it got ruined by the constant anti-air nerfs causing 150-0 Little Bird & Stealth sweats emptying the servers. Don't let it happen to BF6.

Thanks for the response and for explaining the reasoning behind the change. It’s appreciated that the team is communicating with us.

That said, applying a major “real-world realism” adjustment after 8 months feels very inconsistent from a gameplay perspective. Players already spent months learning how launchers behaved, so changing core projectile behavior this late understandably feels frustrating.

The main issue is that at ranges like 100–150–200 meters, rockets often do not land where the scope’s crosshair suggests they should. If the projectile trajectory intentionally behaves this way, then the launcher optics should provide proper range markings or clearer visual guidance so players can reliably understand where to aim at different distances.

Right now, it feels unintuitive rather than realistic.

A lot of experienced players also have the impression that this change was introduced mainly because some players were struggling against RPG users and complained about dying to them too often. Because of that, it can feel less like a realism improvement and more like an indirect nerf designed to push players toward using other AT launchers instead. If that is the intention, it does not feel entirely fair, especially after players already invested time mastering the RPG mechanics that existed since launch.

Either improving the launcher sights/zeroing system or reverting the change would probably make the experience much clearer and more consistent for players.

Also, for future gameplay changes of this scale, it would be great to involve a wider group of players beforehand through testing or feedback sessions.

Additionally, in real-life the projectile doesnt go up instantly! There are plenty of videos on youtube that shows it goes straight

this one is even in slow-mo!

Whats wrong with below msg EA Community Managers??? Why it got rejected couple times?

I got a weird rejection for "HTML script" or something like it. I had to copy my post into notepad and re-do it. Very odd.

I had the same when I wanted to create a post but these posts were rejected after couple minutes or even longer. So they were originally approved and system/moderator rejetected them after :D weird, will try your way know

edit: nvmd tho, I see they've been restored now! Great :D

edit2: didnt want to have a spam so I deleted couple of them

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll pass it along to the team.

One challenge with the infantry-versus-vehicle balance is that infantry fights can be decided very quickly, while vehicles are more limited in number, creating very different expectations between infantry and vehicle players. Player experience can also vary a lot depending on what happens in a match. For example, whether teammates are actively running anti-vehicle, and whether aircraft are dealing with pressure from TOWs, Stingers, Javelins, AA, and constant lock-ons.

At the same time, it’s also true that highly skilled vehicle players can be very effective and can end up dominating matches.

The team will continue to keep an eye on the feedback around this.

Air vehicles get to decide where and how they attack. They are functionally immune from attack until they decide they want to attack somewhere and then because of magic flares and magic below radar, they get additional immunity from the specific anti-air weapons. They have the easiest job in the game. There is no "pressure". They come in for an attack, and if someone has a lock on weapon they push their magic flare button and then dive into below radar and they are immune.

The mobile AA is so awful the only sensible loadout is to NOT take the anti-air shells. Why hasn't it been buffed yet? It's meant to be the #1 anti-air weapon in the game and instead it's worse than spawning in as infantry with a 200 round LMG.

Meanwhile the air vehicles have been constantly getting buffs the entire lifespan of the game while the anti-air is getting constant nerfs.

Stop listening to twitch air sweats and the "pilots of battlefield" who want to do nothing but farm infantry all match without risking dying, and start listening to the other 60 players in a game.

They can be destroyed very quickly and in fact, they often are. I’ve spent a lot of time using vehicles (which can easily be verified through stats trackers), and there were many situations where I died within 3–4 seconds after reaching a capture zone or on the way with getting 3-4 rpg's at once or one by one very fast.

That still doesn’t justify nerfing the RPG to the point where players can no longer reliably predict where the projectile will land, making the scope practically useless.

Instead, there are other ways to improve vehicle survivability. You could add thermal/night vision to vehicles, give IFVs a Trophy System, extend its active duration, and slightly adjust the cooldown/renewal time for that perk (extend by 3-5 seconds).

Tanks and armored vehicles have already been buffed overall (although IFVs currently feel worse than before, similar to the AA vehicle mentioned by MackTKau but in this case AA is practically useless against mid-skilled pilots). Because of that, there’s really no reason to keep the RPG in its current nerfed state.
