Problem with Missilelauncher
I didn't use the mods (unfortunately) for a loooong time bcs. most servers don't like mods or just not had this mods in use or just a few wpns but no rocketlauncher whatsoever...
And I cannot remember to have those issues years ago but by now I've realized that there is some problems with the rocketlaunchers or at least with some of the AT launchers.

In particular the M3 MAAWS and the RPG-7 (since I had them in use the most)
But one of the issues seems to be a general thing:

If you reload your launcher you have to stand up completly.
In a situation where you need to be in cover this is all but ideal. In connection with the M3 MAAWS this means being stuck in a reloading animation that takes at least 8 seconds while standing propably exposed to enemies. I haven't timed the other launchers but I think it should be not much different - it takes a while - especially compared to vanilla launchers.
The reload also looks a bit weird.... like in slow motion. The vanilla MAAWS takes 3 seconds to reload the USAF MAAWS takes 8 seconds. 8 seconds don't sound much but if you compare it and if you think about being stuck in this animation it can be a long time when under fire or at least have enemies around.
In vanilla you can reload siting down and the time is as I said waaaay shorter.
I really think this is a problem.

Now the RPG-7 problem.
Im not really sure what it is but if I shoot a rocket I only see a big smokecloud, no projectile (rocket) and the effect of it... well... lets just say it is questionable and often it seems to have no effect at all - I cannot even tell if it hit because I see no rocket and the impact is covered by this extreme smoke.

Well... it is 2023 and actually as i said I really can't remember it to be like that many years ago when I had those mods in use alot more ... intense. But now that I found a server that is mostly just using this mods and by that I mean the equiptment I have to struggle alot because of it.
So I wonder even that it is propably years to late to request anything... could this be fixed?

If I had the chance I would honestly waive this launchers from those mods in general for thi sand rather stick to the Vanilla stuff... but unfortunately this is not an option for me in this case. So I thought... give it a go... report it and request a fix.
