Ok so my question is simple.Does anyone know how much damage this weap inflicts on the enemy? Does it do better damage at a direct hit? or air burst?

I've found more luck with the airburst. It will kill a player/group of players in two bursts in the air if they all have full health.

There's three rounds to a clip so it's more than enough. The only difficulty is in calibrating the weapon which takes a little bit of time.

And the reload time.

1 direct hit kills i think, but its really really difficult to get a direct hit with this weapon, what with its speed and arc. The burst damage kills in 2 hits, its pretty good burst range too. Not great weapon for moving targets though.

Quick enough, its a tiny clip, same as the Assault rifle i guess... tbh i can't remember but its not overly long, its not a rocket launcher you see... just a tiny clip of mini rockets that get slid into the side of the rifle.. like a little memory chip or at least thats what it looks like xD.

This thing will be a snipers WORST enemy.
It's great for taking them out:D
Many times in the beta, I found myself under one of the tall towers with a sniper on top sticking his rifle over the edge.
Nades would'nt reach him, so I ranged it, added 1m and let off 2 rockets.
+1 sniper to my kill count.

Again: you can either fire it off as a noobtoob projectile, or set a distance to explode using your hud. It either explodes on impact OR detonates at the set travel distance.

How difficult is this thing to use. The calculated airburst makes total sense to me, but then you have to deal with an arc? That sounds nuts. So you have to first set your distance then you have guesstimate your overshot, to account for the arc, and hope like hell it gets close to your desired mark. I suppose you get good at anything if you practive enough but it should have been straight shot for this this thing. I like arc grenades just fine, this just sounds like a dumb weapon. Who would go to the trouble to design an airburst round then give it some crazy arc you have to guess at. I know we already have developed airburst rounds in RL but I bet they don't arc!

it arcs to the set distance, so that's no big problem; and you have a minimum of 20 meters to detonate; that is, you cannot fire it at your feet and blow yourself up, nor can you shoot it at someone 12 meters away from you and blow him to pieces.
