Who says the singular mini-rocket launcher can't be made to be an RPG instead? Because in all my experience in the military today, every RPG I know of is a direct fire weapon.
I mean it makes sense because then you wouldn't have to fool around with the term "mini" in rockets, and can remove this from the rocket classification all together, since it seems to be the odd-one-out and it's the smallest caliber rocket in the game anyway.
So therefore, I propose these names:
(For both the RPGLS and MLLRS, they might need a name too just to follow naming conventions of the rest of the self-propelled weapons systems. Perhaps the "Spearhead" RPGLS and the "Archer" MLLRS?)
Mini-rocket launcher -> Rocket Propelled Grenade Launch System;
("Spearhead") RPGLS
Mini-rocket artillery -> Multiple Launch Light Rocket System;
("Archer") MLLRS
Lancer rocket launcher -> Lancer Light Anti-tank Rocket System;
"Lancer" LATRS
Bunker buster rocket launcher -> Bunker Buster Anti-Emplacement Rocket System;
"Bunker Buster" AEMS
(Perhaps think of a new name in general for the tank killers and ripples because I don't like how they sound. It's not up to me though lol.)
Tank killer -> Tank Killer Medium Anti-tank Rocket System;
"Tank Killer" MATRS
Ripple rocket launcher -> Ripple Multiple Launch Medium Rocket System;
"Ripple" MLMRS
Scourge missile launcher -> Scourge Heavy Anti-Tank Missile System;
"Scourge" HATMS
(It's been a while since I've been on these forums or played WZ so I'm assuming that the angel missiles were renamed to seraph missiles)
Seraph missile launcher -> Seraph Multiple Launch Light Missile System;
"Seraph" MLLMS
Archangel missile launcher -> Archangel Multiple Launch Heavy Missile System;
"Archangel" MLHMS
I suppose after this is done we'd need to change the AA missiles to follow these same naming conventions, because they, as well, are self-propelled weapons systems, but for the life of me I can't remember their names. It's simple, though. ("Name") Light/Heavy Anti-Air Missile Launch System (
L/HAAMLS)

Well, friend, this can be my job now.
After being a mechanic on helicopter platforms in the USMC, it comes naturally. It's mostly just terminology, though. Nothing fancy.
Anyway that was long-winded and nobody is probably going to like my idea, but hey. . I tried lol. At the very least I think making the singular mini-rocket system an RPG is a good call, because that removes the confusion. Thoughts?
