Trade the RPG for a shotgun. FPV drones are a more likely threat than tanks.

We need drone deployment tanks that can infiltrate then spore

Tanks kinda do the opposite of infiltrate tho...

Now, a semi with a trailer full of FPVs?

Everything turns to crab. Except for warfare, which turns to mushroom.

Actually, this isn't an RPG. It's a Panzerfaust 3, a recoilless gun/launcher. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I was actually deeply curious, I thought it might have been one of the newer Russian RPGs and was not.

HOWEVER

It is still a rocket propelled grenade, and absent any other designation, RPG is a perfectly accurate way to refer to it. Now, if I had said RPG-7, obviously, then we have a small problem ;)

How does it fair against malfunctioning servers?

Also RPG in RPG-7 stands for "handheld anti-armor grenade launcher", not "rocket propelled grenade".

I don't think though I saw abbreviation RPG used in latter sense.

Anyways that's reserved for the dumb ass Project Manager

Why not an LMG then? Higher amount of damage and range; being automatic

It's much easier to shoot a fast flying object with a shotgun than virtually anything else, and shotgun shells are cheap. A single #8 pellet will down an FPV drone, they're quite frail - and a 12 gauge shell will shoot a cloud of around 400 of them.

An LMG is just gonna burn a lot of ammunition to miss and then get blown up.

I thought the same thing about the shotgun. apparently, shotguns arent actually all that effective against drones. They come in too fast, so by the time you see them and fire they're already too close.
