RPG-7 has no drop
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

The RPG-7 has no drop and you can simply aim at a target for example 1,5km away and perfectly hit it. This cannot be working as intended, I think.

Effective firing range 200 m
Maximum firing range ≈920 m (1,000 yd) (self detonates)
In Arma3DEV version - the missile flies at ~ 1000m, and explodes

Hi, @Storm117 Aiming with RPG-7 works smoothly until 200 meters away from target. Aiming at target located 1.5 km is not possible. You can´t see the target on this long range and as @Lex mentioned maximum firing range is around 1 km in real.

If you don´t think so, try to attach some video, please.

Thank you for notice.

I added a video about 30min before your comment, because people seemed to not believe me.

@Storm117 My Videos from Arma3DEV version, as it will be 1.67

@Storm117 RPG-7 range will be tweak in next patch around 900 meters.

Okay, thanks. It just seemed silly that the RPG-7 had more range and less drop than the Alamut.
