Aim at the correct part of a vehicle with an unguided launcher

---

The FM outlines our core skills, policies and guides to ensure every member stands ready for the mission ahead.

When shooting an unguided rocket, there are two criteria to think about when picking the spot to shoot at.

• Will the rocket penetrate? Generally the front of the vehicle will be the strongest part, while the rear will be the weakest. Impact angle should be as close to 90° as possible.  
• Will the rocket cause damage? The rocket needs to hit a certain part of a vehicle to do damage to it. The best components to hit are the turret and the engine, with worst being the passenger compartment. Keep in mind different types of ammunition will affect the type and amount of damage a vehicle takes from a hit.
