I consider it like a grenade launcher-- if you have a steady hand, and a keen eye, it's a devestating explosion of anti-infantry death.

Also, it's more usable against soldiers than BF2142 because the missile actually flies straight.

I find em tough to use against infantry (as they probably should be) but sometimes stick it out for the oh so satisfying rocket kill

Your own rocket launcher.

about this with the rocket hitting the wall, thats a bf-thingy ever since 1942, its the spreading, when you have a highly inaccurate weapon (such as the light/heavy machine guns in vanilla bf2142) and stand next to some cover and shoot at the enemy without having good aiming, meaning that you have a high spreading (the crosshair is very big) and you start shooting, you will notice that some of the bullets actually hit the wall, though your gun is next to the wall, its complicated to explain, best would be a video of it but i cba to make one now

Does anyone else than me make extensive use of the HH-15 as an anti-infantry weapon when they play on the Rebel side? It's unbeatable as a close quarters weapon provided you aim properly, and works great at distance, too, as it has a blast radius which means you don't even need to hit your target to kill it. The only problem is that projectiles don't seem to appear where I think they will, so I've frequently fired a rocket from next to a wall and had the rocket hit the wall instead of fly at the enemy. Is this a bug, or is it meant to be that way?

Oh, and what's the best way of countering someone with a rocket launcher? Simply keeping a healthy distance and lob grenades at them over their cover?
