Quick answer
Bring a launcher when a vehicle, fortification, or hard position is shaping the objective. A launcher is a problem-solving tool, not a default purchase for every life.
What problems can a launcher solve?
| Problem | Launcher value |
|---|---|
| Tank or armored vehicle | Forces armor to move, retreat, or risk destruction. |
| Helicopter threat | May support anti-air pressure if the build and launcher type allow it. |
| Fortified route | Can remove or weaken cover blocking an objective push. |
| Clustered enemies | May punish predictable positions, depending on splash and ammo rules. |
What should you check before buying?
Ask whether the threat is real, whether your squad can protect the launcher user, and whether a cheaper role would solve the same issue. If no vehicle or hard target is active, an expensive launcher can sit unused while your faction needs medics, transport, or bodies in the zone.
Practical read
Launcher names, lock-on rules, projectile speed, drop, arming distance, reload, ammo count, splash radius, armor damage, anti-air behavior, and price need live-build evidence.
