In real life HEAT from RPG-7 can kill man in area of 5-10m but it would be compression damage (turning all visceral's into porridge) and smal fragments of warhead.

I know it's a mil sim but I was caught off guard that the indicators actually let you judge speed in a way to. Usually I never trust the measurements on optics but in squad I do.

It has not, lead with same speed will be different on each distance, vertical bars need to estimate the distance more precisely and other way. If u know size in length of target with some math and amount of crossed bars u getting more accurate distance

[@anttitheinternetguy3213]

Seeing those LAW sights make me nostalgic to my Time in infantry. We rolled with finnish Kes-88/66 -weapons that are pretty much copies of those LAWs.

[@cjpaulino6901]

Thank god for this! Been playing since V9 and always relied on my own practice and experience to take shots. Which was always a struggle since the changes to the rocket ballistics and damage models have been drastic over the numerous updates. Now I know there’s some consistency I can rely on.

[@ZeYkslawok]

Just here for anyone watching this guide: as of right now the range on the RPG-7V2 is incorrect. If you wanna use the 2,7 guide thingy to manual determinate the range, it'll always show a higher value than the actual range. I know that cause I've been testing this out for like an hour comparing to the range indicated by the sight and the sign in the range, it's always around 100-150 meters higher. I of course included the turret, and did multiple tests at 300m, 400m and 500m.

[@dylanrichards2121]

Even as someone who doesn’t play AT this guide helps with understanding what to communicate to the AT in my squad, feel like I can relate now to what they need without playing the kit myself

[@BenjaminEmm]

This video is incredibly well done. I look forward to seeing more! I have about 500 hours in squad so far (rookie numbers) I really enjoyed this video

[@EcchiRevenge]

Trust me you're not the only one to hit chopper with HAT only for it to barely smoke and fly away.

[@samgraham2110]

10:56 That is an awesome attention to detail by the developers of the game. Actual rocket rounds by type have different maximum effective ranges. Typical anti-tank rounds have further maximum effect ranges.

[@Uf0nius]

9:55 - 10:00 your claim about round dealing more damage is incorrect. All NON KINETIC rounds - HEAT & Tandem - will do full damage if they can penetrate armour.

[@MoiDawg]

Hey, thanks for the reply! I'm hearting this for visibility so people get the right info. I relistened to myself and I do say that, despite trying to make the point that LAT does less damage than HAT. Penetration = damage, but if you penetrate with a LAT you're still only doing LAT damage, which isn't that helpful against a tank.

[@Uf0nius]

@@MoiDawg no problem my man. It gets more complicated when you start involving layer armor, but that's not the point of the video. However, as a brief example for anyone reading this, uparmored warrior's armor plates will reduce incoming damage to a certain degree even if full penetration occurs (armor plate + hull penetration).

holy shit that binocular tip is AMAZING i never knew that O_O im glad im learning this now as im getting into squad again, though, i havent played that much before...

[@TM-wm7om]

I was waiting for the tandem 50m since you first brought up that scope. One more very important thing is to always call out on local to clear backblast. Also, never fire before checking the set range.

[@jeremysnow803]

This is the best instructional video I have ever seen for anything. Seriously perfect.

[@ninja5672]

Now with official release, V1.0, we still don't have a fix for incorrect offline vehicle damage, reloading an unloaded RPG animation, nor rockets stopped by a leaf on a tree.

[@postandghost9391]

Also another important fact about the LAW, the left and right post can also be used to lead targets moving at 15mph (if I remember correctly, Its forsure within the 10-30mph range). In real life, this is done by putting the center post against whichever respective side of the rear sight. In Squad, well Im sure you just put the respective side post in front of your target, since you cant actually adjust sight positioning horizontally.

[@EazyDuzIt187]

This is a great guide, I started playing as AT instead of Rifleman and its great. The Squad community is just something else. Destroyed an enemy BTR today and felt super proud. Great video man! Thanks for the guide!

[@matiasbonta7829]

That is not true

[@samuelyap9367]

damn i legit never knew the RPG-7V2 had a tandem scope that is actually so helpful thanks dude

[@CrizzyEyes]

Fun fact: HEAT rounds are not actually "explosive" in the sense that they deal damage by exploding, but they instead force the explosive energy through a metal cone inside the warhead, which is usually made of a low melting point metal like copper. This metal actually melts and is forced (by the explosive force interacting with the cone shape) into a molten jet, which then penetrates the armor and shoots inside the vehicle. That's why they're called "shaped charges" and don't do any splash damage. Tandem charges, on the other hand, are called as such because they literally explode twice.

[@r.c.a.f_lynx9992]

It was your videos which finally pushed me over the edge and I purchased Squad today.

[@bakedzt7062]

wow i did NOT expect this guide to be so comprehensive.. subbed!

[@The_DevTato]

big thanks dude, i never used the range finder, now i will save this in my playlist.

[@LilShrimp01]

I usually don't use the binocs unless I'm scouting for vehicles or the vehicle is standing still, I'll usually just have my rocket out and look at the map and use the ranging on there. Although there is a lot of merit when using the binocs on a nonmoving target, being able to range off the map and use your surroundings is a lot faster for moving targets (but does leave a lot of room for error). I will usually quickly open my map, and literally use my thumb or fingers as measurement tools, and this will be effective around 100 to 200 meters. Anything greater than that, and the margin of error is a little too much. But faster than taking out your binocs, ranging, then having to go through the whole animation to shoot the rocket. You can skip the first two steps and just have your rocket out, and this leads to faster ranging. When targets are moving, this can be used to great effect. For those who want a quick tutorial on ranging from the map, I first suggest taking a few seconds to see what scaling and distance the map uses at the beginning of the game, which can be found in the bottom right corner of the map. The usual scaling is 300m for big squares and 100m for little squares respectively. Take a finger, thumb, fingernail, what have you, and find a good measuring tool for the scaling. Then, from there, it is just lining up your position with the target while standing still. When zooming in and out of the map, scaling will change. To compensate for this, use two fingers as measurement tools and line them up with the bottom right corner scaling key. Regardless, good video, and greatly needed for the community as a whole.

[@hazardous458]

Lil Shrimp01 I use this method too but the issue is when the target is not aligned with the squares meaning that method can be pretty inaccurate at longer ranges.

[@LilShrimp01]

@@hazardous458 Yea, hence the 100m to 200m effective range. Anything beyond that sucks, but usually, the 100m to 200m shots are the ones I go for anyways. If I have something like the US HAT, I may go for the long shots because it actually has the optic for that. If I go for anything past 200m, it better be stopped or hovering. High chance of missing if it's moving, and you don't want to waste the shot then.

[@MoiDawg]

Hah, I use the same thing! I'm pretty sure my monitor has a bunch of fingerprints from ranging all the time. Really comes in handy for weapons with long reload animations or kits without binos.

[@Farrettdung101]

The small vehicle models on the range that indicate the armor according to the color is nice and all, but I just find it hard to believe, that the btr82 (30mm) has a stronger back armor then a tank even though that is exactly what the models show.
