Armed Assault Wiki

« The B41 is a portable, reloadable launcher capable of firing an 80mm unguided HEAT rocket up to 200m. The B stands for Ba Do Ka (Bazooka) as it is a Vietnamese copy of a Soviet RPG-7. B41s were widely used by PAVN and Viet Cong rifle squads to suppress US bunkers and machineguns in an anti-infantry role, as well as for shooting down helicopters and engaging trucks and tanks. MACV SOG Recon Teams routinely carried B41s to improve their own firepower.

The B41 85 mm anti-tank grenade launcher.

The B41 is an 85 mm anti-tank grenade launcher used by several REDFOR and INDFOR factions in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire Creator DLC.

Overview[]

This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.

The B41 is a reloadable, shoulder-launched recoilless anti-tank weapon that is designed to fire 85 mm grenades.

It can load and fire 85 mm grenades fitted with high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads.[CfgAm 1] B41s do not have the ability to mount magnified scopes, but they do feature adjustable ironsights which allow for manual zeroing adjustments, starting from a minimum of 200 metres up to a maximum of 500 metres (adjusted in 100 metre increments/decrements).[CfgWp 5]

Ironsights[]

Arma3-sogpfb41-ironsight-overview

The B41's ironsights allow for manual zeroing starting from a minimum of 200 metres up to a maximum of 500 metres (200, 300, 400, 500).[CfgWp 5] By default, the B41's ironsights utilise a zeroing of 200 metres.[CfgWp 6]

Munitions[]

NOTE: The B41 can utilise non-S.O.G. grenade rounds designed for the RPG-7. To minimise clutter, they are deliberately excluded from this section.

B41s are limited to loading and firing only one type of grenade.[CfgWp 7] It has a weight of 30[CfgMa 2] "mass" units:

Uses a high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead.[CfgAm 1]

PG-7V grenades are always launched with an initial velocity of 115 m/s.[CfgMa 3] 0.1 seconds after launch[CfgAm 17], the PG-7V will only need 0.05 seconds of flight time[CfgAm 18] to attain a top speed of up to 300 m/s.[CfgAm 10] Its fuse will automatically detonate the grenade after 14 seconds of flight time.[CfgAm 19]

The primary component of the PG-7V's warhead is classified as high-explosive (HE).[CfgAm 6] It inflicts 80% explosive-type damage and only 20% kinetic damage[CfgAm 12], though it is unable to pierce through armour plating as it explodes on contact.[CfgAm 13] The primary warhead has a blast radius of 3.6 metres.[CfgAm 7]

On the other hand, the PG-7V's kinetic submunition is classified as a high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) munition.[CfgAm 1] It is launched with a velocity of 1,000 m/s[CfgAm 9] and can penetrate up to 300 millimetres of armour plating.[CfgAm 14][Formula 1]

Trivia[]

  • The B41's firing sounds were changed after the release of Update 1.3.[1]
  • Prior to Update 1.3, the B41 was exclusive to REDFOR factions.[2] The patch subsequently added the (then-new) FANK faction as users of the B41, thereby removing its exclusivity status from REDFOR.[1]

Formulae

  1. 1.0 1.1 submunitionInitSpeed * caliber * 15 / 1000 = 1000 * 20 * 15 / 1000

Notes[]

  1. Due to its explosive token being set to a value of 0.8, the primary component of the PG-7V's warhead deals 20% kinetic damage and 80% explosive-type damage. However because it explodes on impact, it is unable to penetrate through vehicle armour.
