It wouldn't be much of an upgrade over the RPG-7 tandem, but if OWI already has a 3D model for it, why not use it? https://mainwaring.artstation.com/projects/5XnnJA

RPG 27, not many references for this flying about, but was a fun model.

9.4k Tris for the launcher, one 4k material

What's the point of adding this to the game? It's literally RPG-28, but worse

That's what I said in the post. It is not much of an upgrade over the RPG-7 tandem, but they already have a 3D model made, so why not?

The main question here is which faction to add it to, RGF (they already have RPG-28), VDV (they're balanced to be CQB faction with low-distanced HATs), IMF (they don't fit the setting) or which one?

vdv

replace one of the HAT kits with the RPG-27 and an RPG-26

#

this kit:

Would be perfect for VDV to differentiate them more from RGF

At some point in time you were able to have 2 hat kits with an RPG-28 on the team and optionally one hat could be a scoped hat kit with an RPG-7V2 Tandem instead. At some point, (maybe when map and layer voting was added?) the second RPG28 kit was removed and now only one HAT is able to have an RPG-28 with the other being forced to use the RPG-7V2 tandem kit or vise versa, except on light infantry or airborne layers where you get extra HAT kits which then allows 2 of the RPG-28 and RPG-7V2 tandem kits. Basically currently either due to a mistake or deliberate change someone is forced to use the RPG-7V2 tandem kit if you want to run HAT and the other kit is taken. All I'm trying to get at here is that one potential option is that you could replace the RPG 7V2 tandem and a HEAT round as secondary armament with the RPG 27 and a RPG-26 as secondary armament which whether that would be an improvement or a downgrade is kind of a toss up but it would atleast add some more variety to the game by leaving the RPG-7V2 tandem as a VDV exclusive and it would make the class significantly more new player friendly since if I'm being honest using the RPG-7V2s sight can be rather confusing for some people and every now and then you run into someone who may not know about or remember the massive drop that the Tandem round has.

#

Another option would be to return the ability to have 2 RPG 28 HAT kits and leave 1 RPG-7V2 Tandem kit with the AK74M + 1P78 as an optional class like how it was before. Honestly it'd probably still see significant use because some people just like have a magnified optic and a HAT rocket or they just straight up like the RPG-7V2 and being able to have a magnified HEAT rocket launcher vs the unmagnified RPG26 and the kit saw significant amounts of volentary use before the 2nd RPG-28 kit was removed but I don't know if people would see having two RPG-28s as a balancing issue or not.

#

Anyways after bringing back the 2 RPG-28 kits for RGF (or not I guess its unrelated to the matter of adding the RPG-27) you could give the RPG 27 to the scope hat kit on VDV and give them a rpg 26 as secondary armament or something like that, or (although it might be kind of goofy) you could give the unscoped VDV HAT kit a 1P78 2.8x and then restrict it to only 1 selection per team (or 2 for air assault) and then make it so 2 (or 4 for air assault) unscope HAT kits with two RPG 27s are available at all times.
