the rocket launcher that goes through is called a stinger.
Its designed to be anti air.  | |

Yeah.. it is actually one of the best weapons in the game. One well placed shot will bring down a plane.

If I'm not mistaken the rocket launcher which can zoom in the most is the one used for aircrafts.

Weapon 3 is your regular rocket, RPG-7 or SMAW. Weapon 4 is your Stinger. And they actually both have an equal level of zoom.
The damage depends on where and how you hit the aircraft. If you just like skim the aircraft and the rocket continues going without stopping from the impact, or if you hit it dead-on. If you hit it in the nose, if you hit it on the underside, if you hit it in the engine... A full-armor heli can be taken down by a single Stinger rocket if you hit it right. But don't think the Stinger is the only thing that can take out aircraft. I've taken down many a heli and jet with the RPG-7/SMAW. Say, a plane is heading straight towards you and flying low and parallel to the ground (when I'm in this situation, I find it hard to miss with the RPG-7/SMAW.) Forget the Stinger, your other rocket is more powerful. Tanks are also useful for taking down the aircraft. I ain't talking about the gun mounted on top, I mean the shell. It's excellent to take down helis. Planes are a little harder, but can still easily fall to a well-placed tank shell. BMP-2s and Bradley's have a harder time, but can still get the job done. Never be afraid to take a shot at a passing aircraft when you're in a tank. Also, Stingers even work on mortars and AA_Allies guns (maybe even a Flak 38, haven't tried it, but ZPU-4 AAAs don't work). I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not, but if there's a mortar firing on you from afar, or an AA_Allies gun pelting you, just whip out your Stinger. Stingers do absolutely nothing against ground objects, except the mortars and AA_Allies mentioned above, APCs (Humvees and BRDMs), and maybe lifeboats. I often see players wasting their Stingers on an enemy infantry troop, tank, whatever. In real life, yes. In the game, no. -------------------  | |
