While rocket launcher or bazooka purpose is just to eliminate a large group of enemies, the new type of rocket launcher, Panzerfaust is available in Underground and can be used to take down both infantries and tanks, unlike other installments, Tanks can be "half-destroyed", in this state, either their bottom half or upper half will be disabled, so a tank can lose it's machine gun and ability to move but still have a functioning cannon as well as the other way around, Tanks in this state will be counted as destroyed for objectives.
