Might seem a bit mad, but friends and I have stopped playing due to the RPG-7 - we now just keenly await the time underlying problems are addressed / new systems are introduced that tame the power of all rockets in Reforger's fast-paced, close-range combat. I know the devs are aware of the RPG-sniping, but its prolific use in CQB as well has really soured Reforger's gameplay.

@Warden_BigDog's smaller suggestion that increased ADS times is something that should also be heavily considered. Personally I think that if any rockets (LAW or RPG alike) are to be used in close range combat, they should not be just as snappy and quick as rifles etc. - it should be you must point-fire and hope you hit, otherwise you use the right weapon for the circumstance. When presented with the choice of two weapons with snappy ADS times, players will always choose the weapon that provides all these: precision, generous splash damage AND penetrative damage. Player will not choose the weapons (e.g. AK-74 or M16) that requires multiple shots to kill, cannot penetrate surfaces, and require precision. The TTK on rockets - which includes the target-acquisition time (of which there is almost none due to the generous splash) - make it a no-brainer when it comes to point blank infantry combat and it's a massive detriment to the game at the moment. The RPG-7 can be so easily reloaded and has such a great sight-picture, this is why its use is so pervasive, even though on paper the LAW suffers from most of the same issues.

Reforger should seek to make all rocket launcher ADS times much more punishing, along with significantly slower reloading, significantly slower speeds when switching to and from such weapons. This then requires a pre-meditative approach to use of such weapon and not quick-switching and reactive playstyles where it frankly feels quite toxic when people opt to run around and use nothing but RPGs for every engagement because of how imbalanced it is and its governing systems are.

Really believe all such changes will be of massive benefit to health of not just vehicle gameplay, but also infantry combat too.

Heavy weapons need delayed sight adjustment, and can't be this snappy

Another issue I’ve noticed is demonstrated here(besides the insane accuracy), sometimes the rpg will kill even though it did not score a hit or explode (even against vehicle crews)

The accuracy and range, and reload time, are indeed WAY over modeled. The RPG makes for a better sniper rifle than an acutal sniper rifle which is of course completely ridiculous.
But the biggest problem when we're talking about actual gameplay, is the AMOUNT of RPG's every russian soldier has.

The absolute SPAM just makes the basecamping unbearable.
t's just too easy for a single RU soldier with SIX rpg's in his backpack, hide in a bush somewhere outside a base and be a nuisance for an hour with his sniper rifle with exploding rounds.

LIMIT RPG to ONE per russian soldier.

What I think RPG needs is longer adjustment between front and rear sights
