Of course they’re not going to admit they did it because some group of pilots or snipers complained about RPGs. They need a justification for it. The fact that it falls apart under closer scrutiny doesn’t matter. They came up with it and that’s that.
And it’s not like the game consistently follows logic anyway — for example, the RPKM or AK-205 dealing only 20 damage while some lower-caliber SMGs deal 25 or even 33 damage. Or character skins having two pairs of headphones visible at the same time, (one on head, second pair at the vest lol) two pairs of gloves, or three pairs of scissors attached in different places… :D
It honestly feels like nobody there is taking a critical look at what they’re creating and approving in these updates.
