Are Rokkets actually any good at taking out tanks? I used a couple on an emplaced turret and they generally did jack.
Don't use the one from the store. It is bugged and does less damage. Use the one from the boxes. Coupled with a stikky bomb, it can kill tanks quite fast. Just nowhere near as fast as a melta. I think it's our strongest anti tank option. Really good at killing players, too.
Also learn the rear armor spots. Some vehicles dont apply it on all of the back for some reason. Like Wave serpants seem to take side armor dmg at times from shots more than half way up the back side.
The one you get from the store is a proper anti-infantry rocket. One-hit KO for anyone dumb enough to stand still in front of it. The 5000 Lootbox rokkit with the black-barrel is meant for anti-tank and a tid be less accurate from krumping gitz.
Theyre about on par with plasma cannon charged shots per rokkit, but are horribly inaccurate and the blast radius on them is small enough that its not reliable vs infantry in a pinch either. Ive popped around corners and shot at targets 10m away and had the rokkit fly off sideways and miss them and then get killed.
About five shots will kill a Rhino, or four and a sticky stikkbomb, or three and two sticky stikkbombs or a super stikkbomb. All assuming rear armor strikes, of course, and without taking into account vehicle regen. Need to be reasonably close if you're aiming at a particular spot, since they have a tendency to shoot sideways (though it's less of an issue if you get the multi-launcher thing mod from the 30k box). They've actually upped the accuracy from what it used to be though, so you can be confident that the rokkit will at least make contact with a vehicle from range (unless it's moving or Eldar). Gotta use them as an ambush weapon against infantry though (or against oblivious braced heavies who don't think you have a chance of hitting them). All of this is assuming the rokkit launcha primary. I don't have numbers on the pokkit rokkit because I don't use it nearly as much.
Pokkit rokkit has no use against vehicles. It does quite a bit of damage against infantry, but not enough for a OHK. Good stun, though.
True. I just meant that the damage was minimal. You'd have better DPS against a tank with a power sword.
Yup. Tbh with the charge time on fire they have become pretty damn terrible. I mean why stun for melee when you are going to have to roll around anyway to yet closer or just beat em to death from behind. Imo the old insta fire needs to be brought back just give it a longer reload.
