The whole point is that an experienced RPGer can be more effective than a whole squad of riflemen. The counter-insurgency mentality of everyone needing to be a rifleman has shown itself to be irrelevant in peer conflict. Just as speed reloads are pointless as you'll always have time to reload, the RPGer will not become a sitting duck if he's not spraying bullets every 5 seconds.

The most effective tactic has once again revealed itself as just having a fuck ton of explosives. Adding one more rifle to spray at the thing you can't even hit/see is a waste of resources. Give the RPG-team reduced loadouts with SBRs or PDWs, distribute spare warheads all across the squad like with mortar rounds. Continuous, accurate explosive suppression from a soldier whose ability to guide it is instinctual is unbeatable. This is something we know (since we keep trying to make grenadier squads a thing) but are unwilling to actually train for.
