I guess that's true but even 122mm Rockets aren't super effective against medium armor. Although you could make a makeshift shaped charge with a copper cone.


Or just immobilise the tank with ground-based RPG fire, and then deal with it from there.

Well the rockets are more suited to a Air support role against static or slow moving targets. If you're going to immobilize them with RPG fire you might as well destroy them with infantry based AT fire to save on cost.

And then save the rockets for when they're really needed, which is what I'm doing. The Sultan is acting as Orcus' ace in the hole as such, and they won't risk it unless they have no choice but to commit it.

Well you can 'make' your own rockets that incorporate a shaped charge if you want. I know a guy who can do it in EOD....

Probably. I could also modify the launchers so that the slots used to carry training rockets carry actual rockets instead.

So a private military company operates in the red for forty odd years before finally getting a job now?

That stretches credulity. Regardless, though, it's really not that difficult Alouite; Arc, as OP, would like you not to have tanks. Whether or not that is terribly realistic is a point we can debate back and forth, but it is, all in all, his decision.
