He appears to be more modeled after the guys in Blackhawk Down tossing around RPGs at choppers. Those rockets(not missiles) can barely knock the tracks off a modern MBT(a combat report I read from early in the Iraq conflict saw only one Abrams immoblized, none destroyed after a serious ambush involving everything in the OPFOR arsenal). They simply cannot destroy such a tank irrespective of direction.

The pick up kit is different, an APC armour is different, but you seriously need to reconsider your expectations of an one-on-one RPG vs. MBT face off. That being said I have found tandem anti-armor rockets but still no hand-held guided missiles. They may not exist or I simply may not have found them. I wish those two were kit selection options rather than pickup kits. But those would be the weapons you are imagining when discussing ordinance with a high probability of destroying a MBT with one shot. Even tandem anti-armour rockets are often defeated by modern armor techniques in deflection angles, reactive armors, and chemically altering materials that absorb energy. I think the current PoE damage system reflects this more accurately than other games.

Many of you seem to be discussing this purely as a balance issue from a game design standpoint. I personally prefer and also expected at TG it would be considered not just as a balance issue but also as a realism issue that support real tactics as icky is discussing it.

Correction: there is an AT class. The AT class automatically changes to Anti-Personal when your on an infantry only map. On normal maps with tanks it says Anti-tank.
