Eh, well I've been playing a little more and recently I noticed that M-79's grenades seem to have a greater blast radius than the RPG-7's rockets. This mostly comes from a couple incidents.

The first incident, was an experience with the RPG-7; I fired at an enemy out in the open with no cover at all, but missed by a couple feet to the right. He didn't die despite the rocket landing right next to him. The rocket exploded in a short of mushroom shape cloud right next to him, but he was still standing.

However, I recently bought a M-79 Thumper and was testing it out on some patrol vehicles. One time, I wasn't paying attention and a patrol got too close before I could notice. I panicked, and fired a bad shot almost the full width of the Assault Truck in front of it. My first thought was "Dangit, miss, aim again". A split second later, the grenade impacts the ground with a huge splash, and the truck flies into the air.

So these are my questions:
-Is the blast radius of grenades larger than those of rockets?
-If so, what makes the rocket preferable to grenades?

Thanks.

Well, sometimes it seems like the rockets have a radius of about 1 inch during multiplayer, whenever you hit right next to someone and they don't even die. And neither can destroy a car half the time. But generally I think the enemies don't see the grenades and run into them, whereas they can see the rockets coming at them and dodge it, in Single Player at least.

Yeah, i'm thinking Rocket's vs vehicles, grenades vs infantry

I just chalk it up to unbalanced weapons. Both the Carls G and RPG should be much stronger than they actually are.

This has lead to the issue of newb tubers (people who can't aim guns so exclusively use MGL and M-79)

i dont really play SP, but in MP, all explosives are underpowered now.... only time i really use them is when i feel liek going for manuals. mgl take liek 3 to kill, m79 take 2 or more, rpg 1 or 2... havent used carl g in long time cant say
