*The rocket, though powerful, is implemented in-game as an anti-vehicle weapon, not ~~dseigned~~ for engaging dismounted infantry. Consequently, for balance reasons, many enemies who would have perished had they been in a [[vehicle]] can survive. For example, Elite [[Zealots]] within a vehicle cannot survive, while Zealots engaging in direct combat will merely lose their shields and some health.
