- They can kill the crew of light vehicles making them prone to capture.
- Can clear buildings very effectively with their RPO warheads.
Against Infantry
Extremely effective against infantry with their RPO rockets. Can hit clustered enemy, kill enemy infantry at one hit if you are lucky and effectively clear garrisoned units.

Cannot attack any aircraft nor helicopters, except landed ones.

How to defend against
- Fight fire with fire. In other words, use RPO Soldiers to counter RPO Soldiers.
- Other infantry usually lose a battle against them, if you have to use large groups but not clustered to close!
- Clear them if they're in a building with garrison-clearing units, the artillery units being the safest way to do so here.
- Defensive structures can cause devastating results to infantry.
