It should be changed for the Rank V+ restriction alone. And not just that, it is also not available to people who don’t happen to have the planes/heli’s that can equip those rockets, limiting it even more.
Awful BP challenge. Absolute garbage.

Unlok the first russian hely is still better then playing any game in naval killing plane
worst part its unfinishable :D. I finished all 3 subtasks and main still says 0/3
–““Gaijin Entertainment, Founded: 2002, Moscow, Russia””–
it’s a Russian game and coincidentally Russian helicopters have rockets under 5Kg, specifically 3.6Kg S-5K rockets.
I also found an Italian event vehicle FIROS 6, he have rockets ARF/8M3 = 3.8kg
This event is pure malice

Does it work for this task? lirc there is “use an air vehicle” requirement. You can also find these rockets on AMX.
You can find multiple export Soviet vehicles and some other nations vehicles which use S-5K, like in the Italian TT there are IAR-93B, Hungarian D Hind and MiG-15bis, 21MF/bis, 23MF.

To bad the SNEB 37 mm Type 447 HE-FRAG rockets (iirc in game designation was just Type 37) were removed, iirc they were 3kg rockets & good for use against soft skins & other aircraft.
But the two SA 318 had these up to iirc 72 rockets in four pods

Tried Mi-24D first - unsuccessful, then switched to AMX, it’s way easier (second battles 2 targets destroyed), use KF41 or Freccia, jump into scout drone, farm 3 scouting and then rush to enemies like a berserk or just J-out to spawn AMX next.
Eventually It took me 5 battles to complete the task with small rockets using regular AMX, 3 battles for medium using Hungarian Mi-24V, heavy rockets took a bit more - 8 battles, with IAR-93B, although in 4 of them I had not enough SP to spawn with S-24B.
killing emmy with torpedo will forever be worst then this mission because who want to play ship no one
what are the best planes to grind these tasks ?
su 7 you can do all 3
what about the SU22 ? will it also work ?
for medium and large yes
This challenge is fine. It is a CHALLENGE after all. I completed it in about an hour using an su25 I think.
The challenges I’d like changed are the naval. Don’t force me to play a mode I’ve never touched. Like literally, never played. In over 2000 hours. Not touched naval.
As someone who ‘only’ has a thousand hours in the game, I don’t have any vehicles that fulfill the criteria for the Small Rockets challenge, nor will I be realistically able to grind any in the remaining time. I literally don’t have a way to compete, because I’m grinding Sweden and France. I don’t see how that is fair.
While the torpedo challenge did suck, as I had to practice torps and naval, rank III ships are still a lot more obtainable than this challenge, just by grace of the grind. Does it suck having to play a mode that sucks? Yes, but its the only challenge for naval, and I completed it within like 8 matches because you can farm AI ships and chokepoints. Its a challenge still, but the starting line is much lower than the rest.
I like the idea of the challenge, but do think the rocket size should be tweaked so that small rockets are those under 10KG. That opens up a lot of other options, but might make it too easy, so perhaps warhead size is the way to go.

Heck, increasing it to 5.05kg (or 5.1kg for rounding out) would unlock a major western rocket in the SNEB for this challenge. That is how little the difference would have to be.

Honestly ‘Small’ rockets should be anything lets say (to use nice even numbers) 10kg, which opens up things like the FFAR ‘Mighty Mouse’ - which considering it’s a 2.75 inch rocket, it is kinda small. ‘Medium’ should be a weight range that is the HVAR, RP-3 and other similar rockets that most of the time, you carry 6-8 of them, maybe more in unique carry configurations or later aircraft. ‘Large’ rockets should be anything bigger - like the Tiny Tim’s or W.GR-21, the harder to aim borderline meme rockets. At that point the worst case scenario is having to at least get to the rank 3 IL-2 in the Russian tree for small and some of the Rank 3 German fighters for large, with a ton that cover medium.
Then again they could also remove the kinda nonsensical rank limit which puts the Hellcat back in play for heavies after tehy moved it down (for some reason beyond understanding), and the I-15 I think it is for smalls becomes an option.

I agree with the comments saying that the Light Rocket tasks should be increased to at least 5.05kg/5.10kg, or even better increased to 9kg-10kg to allow the Mighty Mouse rockets etc to be used 👇
I absolutely agree with this comment that this BP task is almost requiring a Rank V+ vehicle, egregious 👇 I have plenty of vehicles that can complete this Light Rockets task, but I have been playing for over 10 years and collect a lot of vehicles. Not typical at all for the average player, and especially not a new player.
I think all of the current options were already covered in this thread, but I am going to post a link to a reply I made in the official BP thread with detailed links to (I think) all the rockets that can currently be used for this Light Rockets task:
I linked over to this thread in my linked reply too, this should be getting more attention. Definitely not fair to a large portion of the playerbase.
In my opinion, this challenge should be changed because someone like me may have only ground one nation, and in a country like the USA the minimum rocket weight is 8.98 kg , even at lower ranks. Therefore, for someone like me, within this time frame it’s not possible to grind another nation that has light rockets.
