RPG Trooper

"Although the heavy bazooka remains the standard anti-tank weapon for the Imperial Infantry, small numbers of the recently developed rocket propelled grenade launcher are undergoing field tests. While the heavy and awkward bazooka requires a team of two to operate, the lighter RPG launcher can be loaded and fired by a single trooper, even from a standing position. Compared to the Bazooka “Squad”, the RPG Trooper is able to duck, dodge, and dive behind cover, making them far more survivable under front-line conditions."

- 1.2 Patch Notes

Overview
With the 1.3 update, the RPG Trooper loses some of its advantages. The RPG Trooper lost its ability to fire every other round, and now just about anyone can crit vehicles. Now the stats are very similar to the often compared Bazooka Squad.

As of 1.3, the RPG Trooper's advantages over the Bazooka number very little, as befitting for its slightly higher Nanopod cost. RPG Trooper has a higher damage-output-over-time with its 3 shots, despite its the lower damage compared to the Bazooka. But the Bazooka squad does more damage at level 1. The RPG also boasts better defense, higher accuracy and a better crit bonus versus Vehicles. All this makes it better for taking on tanks given its increased survivability.
