GAJ52 Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Using my usual training mission which is the Instant Action - East Georgia Spring, I attacked the first mission targets with M151 rockets. Now these are just two trucks and although I admit I did not get a direct hit on either, the rockets struck within about 2 truck lengths of each. I was expecting a fragmentation hit with a delayed kill but both trucks survived intact. I appreciate these are anti personnel weapons but I expected a kill on a truck within a few feet. What is the kill radius of these weapons or do I have to put them through the windscreen each time. GAJ52 Intel i7-7700K @ 4.60GHz | 32 GB Ram | Win 10 Pro 64 | GTX 1080i 11.00MB | Saitek X52 Pro
Yellonet Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 A few feet yes, but as you say within 2 truck lengths that's like 40-50 feet... Then again, the fragmentation and blast effects seem a bit under-modeled currently (and historically). i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5

LeadDoctor Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 M151 Rocket effectiveness has been adjusted - see Beta 4 when released. That is awesome news. Was getting fed up with 151 rockets hitting next to a solder and not dieing. Hope all the rockets have been adjusted.

What is the kill radius of these weapons or do I have to put them through the windscreen each time. Remember that these rockets only carry 9 lbs of explosive. So your going to have to get close. Thats why there are 7 rockets LOL not ever one is going to be a kill but you can lead sorta like you do with the gun. Most times now we use WP rockets only and use them to mark so the JTAC can confirm we are in the right area.
