Rockets SNEB 253 too weak

[SturmVogel]

They look useless compared to HEAT Hydra and S-8. For SNEB 253 HEAT damage about 7% by rear aspect M-60 per 1 rocket, same for block post, etc.... SNEB 257 HE with large warhead gives more damage by armored targets, it`s wrong.

Same here. Two SNEB F1 HE hits on a BMP-1 only damages it ard 24 %.

Not about HE version, about 253 HEAT comared to 257 HE large warhead.

I just tried SNEB Type 253 F1B HEAT on T55 tanks (being shot at from the side or rear): damage per rocket that hits is 5 %. I understand your point is that a HE rocket gives more damage. I'd also like to emphasize it also seems the 253 HEAT rocket does not cause enough damage.

I really thought that the Rockets would have been tweaked by now. Reading the available info on the SNEB anti-tank shaped charge rocket states they will cut through 400mm of armor. I live paused directly over a t-55 and the damage was 5% with simultaneous two rocket hits. so 2.5%dmg per rocket? You literally have to score direct hits with every available rocket to "possibly" kill any thing with armor. The Hind needs 2 heat rockets to kill an Abrams for comparison.   I cannot justify even equipping them for the added drag when they are this useless against anything other than trucks. Is there any discussion at all about increasing the damage output? There is such a fantastic selection of rockets and I feel it's something unique with this awesome bird.

Hi @Cahoot,

It's not up to us to modify them. If you could provide the source for the armor penetration stat or a comparison with other similar rockets in-game, it would help us to get things moving regarding any needed tweaks.

Thank you so much for your prompt response, here is a link and attached page with the 400mm penetration stat.

Thanks! We'll try to run some tests.
