"All HE ammo has been removed from RPG type weapons that had them added in to simulate the change mentioned above. This fixes the problem of two man AT teams carrying 10 or 12 ( or more ) RPG rounds. Typically now they carry
half what they did before."

I would note however that the RPG-7 has some dedicated HE rounds,like the OG-7V, which have seen battlefield use.
Still I would say that giving antipersonnel capability to HEAT is a godsend which saves many headaches.
Interesting point, IMHO. The same basic launchers are usable for different ammo. If I understood correctly that in 3.0 there will be dedicated AT/AP teams then I don't really think thats a good idea. Or will the RPG teams now feature two weapon slots featuring fewer ammo for both warheads?
