Field Assessment
The rocket launcher appears in Leonida when the situation has moved past what rifles and shotguns can resolve. Armoured law enforcement vehicles, reinforced positions, air support. These are the targets it was designed for.
It is not a subtle weapon. The back-blast is significant. The detonation is visible from a distance that covers most of Vice City. Every nearby witness knows something serious has occurred and knows the general direction from which it occurred.
The operational window for using it is brief. The moments between the situation requiring it and law enforcement escalating to a response level that makes the carrier the primary target are measured in seconds. In and out. No lingering.
