###BASIC STUFF

The RPG-7V2 fires 4 rocket types:

  • PG-7VL HEAT rocket for destroying shit/light armor
  • PV-7VR Tandem HEAT rocket for destroying more modern armor. R FOR RUSSIA. Strong like Putin.
  • OG-7V Frag rocket for murdering idiot Yankee cowboys
  • TBG-7V Thermobaric Murder Rocket for taking out Fortified positions full of Yankee cowboys.

The sight looks like this:

If you're firing the frag rocket, you use the range indicators on the left. If firing standard HEAT, use the range indicators on the right. If firing the PUTIN rocket or Thermobaric Murder missile, use the center indicator.

###RANGEFINDING

That curved thing to the center-right is the range finder, and it's meant to be used with tanks or any object 2.4m tall. Basically, align the bottom line under the curve with the bottom of the tank and count up to where the top of the tank is on the curve.

This here is about 200 meters:

And this is about 500 meters:

###EXAMPLES

Here is how you would sight a direct hit at 200 meters with the PG-7VL (std. HEAT):

rpg heat 200m

With the frag rocket, that will fly right over the top of the tank, and with the Tandem HEAT, that will fall well short of the target. Here's how you'd aim the Tandem HEAT (PUTIN STRONG) at 200 meters:

So as you can see, huge difference. Knowing how to use this stupid fucking sight is actually really important, but now you know! If you ever find yourself trying to use an RPG-7V2, just tab out, click the bookmark that brings you to this page, and then spend a couple of minutes going over this again while Chef screams at you over Teamspeak to just hand him the fucking thing already.
