tiri 21 Posted May 18, 2012 The rocket launcher was probably equipped with an AP Rocket, not an HE one ?What does it mean ? It has almost no AoE and do only hit damages to the point it hits.On the other hand, a SMAW with HE would have killed them for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazierivan 2 Posted May 18, 2012 lol that sucks good try tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olliesful 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Yeah that looks like the AT4 which is Anti-Tank.I have no idea why you used a rocket launcher on two people but I'd suggest you save that for more important situations in future.Also, WHY IS THERE AN AT4 IN DAYZ ANYWAY?

You just have to shot at them and do enough damages and they will look completely destroyed (bullet holes or even bigger holes in them, etc.).If you manage to shoot one helicopter with that, you can be sure it will go down in flames.

naizarak 41 Posted May 18, 2012 the at4 is an anti-tank rocket. it's for taking out cars and helis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Guy 1 Posted May 18, 2012 Yes, that weapon is for anti-armor only. The only way you can kill a person with it is if it hits them dead on, or at the ground no more than about three feet away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackAlpha 12 Posted May 18, 2012 AT4 rockets do hardly any area of effect damage. So they are basically worthless against personnel. Shooting them at infantry only serves as a means to suppress them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShiddySmell 1 Posted May 18, 2012 So it was you. I almost shit my pants when that thing hit, I'd just picked up a coyote backpack in that tent and BOOM, my ears were ringing, eyes were fuzzy and all kinds of crazy shit.You also managed to miss us both several times with whatever gun you started firing afterwards too. We then went on to loot stary for some good gear, which included a tent and shit. Just wish you hadn't spawned a shitload of zed at the base though, we weren't quite finished there.

revert64 0 Posted May 18, 2012 lol, yea you managed to break my leg, I was dying a horrible death on the other side of that tent. Cracked me up to see this thread after we were just commenting on the massive ear ringing and explosions all around as I'm getting a transfusion behind a tent. Good times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Killing Joke 43 Posted May 18, 2012 I read the wiki, and it is confirmed that this is for tanks and helis and such. I believe one quote is, "not good for use on groups of zeds".TKJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gutterboy44 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Love how traditional FPS's have conditioned people to thinking rocket launchers are these catch all giant explosion machines. They are all very specially tailored for their use, which is primarily anti tank/vehicle. Use it for structures and vehicles in DayZ, but that is a large item to haul around for the limited use.Side note, the way the AT4 rocket actually penetrates armor is bad ass. A shaped charge basically turns the steel armor into a molten jet and carries all the energy into the cabin of a tank and, well not good to be in there once that happens.

proxzor 3 Posted May 18, 2012 I'm actually surprises you managed to find one, I never saw someone running with one and never found one myself. Pretty awesome you can destroy buildings with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Killing Joke 43 Posted May 18, 2012 Aww, Oilman. You deleted your post before I could quote it.;)"RPG is an initialism from the Russian language РПГ or ручной противотанковый гранатомёт (transliterated as "ruchnoy protivotankovy granatomyot"), meaning "hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher". Thus, "rocket-propelled grenade" is a backronym.":DTKJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
