<sarcasm> What, you didn't know that the box-o-crabs is a vanilla weapon? It's located under craft, for God's sake. Think before posting, mate. </sarcasm>

Soralin, here's an idea. Don't exceed the MOIDs limit. There you go, problem solved.

Well what fun would that be?

That's not a gun, that's a weapon of mass destruction.
This thread is called "The guns in CC and your thoughts (so we can make 'em better)", so it doesn't really cover WMDs.

Uh, I strongly beg to differ. A loaded RPG-7 weighs just over 7kg; their size makes them somewhat awkward to carry, but an experienced user can loose a shot, reload, sight, and fire again in a very short period of time.

The RPG-7 is an exception. A majority of shoulder-mounted rocket propulsion systems, both in the past and present, have been bulkier, heavier and all-around cumbersome. To me, both the RPG and Coalition rocket launcher are bulky aesthetically. This would imply that they are based off of the generic rocket launcher, and therefor would have a slower rate of fire and larger mass. I'm not a developer, but those are the vibes that the current vanilla rocket launchers give me. Now, if the sprite for the Coalition rocket launcher was sleeker, I would expect statistics that resemble the RPG-7 more accurately.

Basically, I'm saying that the aesthetics of the current rocket launchers would not fit RPG-7 stats.

Well, the WWII-era Bazooka and the comparatively heavy Panzerschreck (it was capable of destroying everything short of the Russian IS-2 tank) both weighed in at about 15kg loaded, weren't all that cumbersome, and only required a loader because of the very primitive firing system (a pair of electrical contacts had to be fitted to the projectile to fire the solid fuel rocket).

The RPG-7 is only an exception insofar that it's the AK-47 of RPG weapons; cheap and rugged. Modern reusable unguided shoulder launchers are almost universally under 10kg and extremely easy to use. Recoilless rifles are considered cumbersome insofar that they're more like a man-portable cannon; the projectile isn't self-propelled and great care must be taken when loading and firing the weapon. However, they feed the 'heavy and cumbersome' stereotype as they look almost identical to genuine rocket weapons.

Guided rocket launchers are another kettle of fish. They are extremely heavy, awkward to handle and slow to fire. The targeting system can easily double the weight of the weapon, large battery packs and complex scopes tend to unbalance the weapon, great care had to be taken not to damage the sensitive electronics, and targets had to be acquired and locked before a shot could be fired.

So if we really want to nitpick on which RPG weapon doesn't 'belong', it's the Homing Missile Launcher. The 'multiple shot' aspect of the Bazooka and Missile Launcher is odd; however there's nothing to say that it's not a cluster of launch tubes that can be fired in quick succession followed by a lengthy reload. Such a weapon would be completely within CC's technology.

If they have a cluster of rocket tubes, they aren't going to weigh the same as a generic rocket launcher. I would also consider them far more cumbersome due to the fact that you would need to reload each tube separately.

Or they could be stacked shots. Or they could use the magazine that you load it with.

Or Jackal could stop acting like an expert on weaponry and military history when it's painfully obvious he knows next to nothing on either.

Protip: You're not an expert on firearms if you've only shot the .22 your dad owns and get your data from Wikipedia.

Jesus save us from ♥♥♥♥ firearms nuts.

I'd argue that, at times, one must sacrifice realism for game balance. I mean, we can have realistic rocket launchers that nobody uses due to being underpowered, or we can have unrealistic rocket launchers that are on-par with the other weapons. I know which one I'd choose.

Better yet. We can all say, "Hell with realism", since this game takes place quite a ways into a future in which technology as a whole is far more advanced than it is in real life.

Tommygun

Pros:
Uhm... it has a nice sprite?

Cons:
Coding. It is the weakest weapon out there. Well, maybe not the weakest, but the least useful. At point blank range-short range a shotgun is better and at medium-long range any other assault rifle is better.

an UZI is more versatile than the ♥♥♥♥ tommy gun, and cheaper.

You don't have to repeat him, because that's what he said. ATM, the Tommy Gun is useless and that's what needs fixing.
