Rocket Launchers


It bears repeating that rocket systems ARE NOT THE SAME as missile systems.

A rocket system fires unguided projectiles that might as well be a really dangerous rock.
What I mean by that is that a rocket goes forward, rapidly, in an unwavering line until it finds something or someone to hit. THAT IS NOT A MISSILE.

Rockets can be either traditional high explosive or armor piercing, or they can be infused with plasmatic matter for extra bite. The thought process when it comes to a rocket vs missile debate is how much the company is willing to spend for the sole purpose of blowing up shit. You can either blow up shit accurately, or you can blow it up spectacularly. Or you can forfeit your legion’s budget for the next month and do both.

Personally, I enjoy these things for the simple fact that there's no dancing around or some arcane bullshit ritual that comes with shooting a bazooka/rocket type weapon. I see my target, its existence irritates me, and I must fix that.

Now, since this ISN’T A MISSILE, what I DON’T DO is:

  • Activate tracking in the launcher’s control system.
  • Hone the guidance parameters via the auto-scan module or some other bullshit.
  • Verify and dial in the target areas for optimal damage.
  • Pull the trigger.
  • Get beat to death with my own ass cheeks by Finance.

What I DO is:

  • Point rocket launcher at target.
  • Pull trigger.
  • Watch the resulting carnage, rapidly repeat the above steps as necessary.

The "thwump" noise of a rocket launcher sending harm downrange makes my tits get harder than a pair of carpenter nails. …fucking what? – Iza
