The rocket launcher is not a hitscan weapon. It takes time for rockets to reach the target. As a soldier's skill increases, his ability to hit a sniper from base to base on aardvark does not follow suit. He must get closer to his target to operate effectively.

The super shotgun is a hitscan weapon, but it weakens as the bullets spread out. A hit from across the yard will do about 5 damage, and barely faze an opponent. Better shotgun skill will help land the shots, but they are almost neglible at such a long distance.

Do you not get the point?
I'm removing myself from this thread. Seems to me some people just can't see things even if you circle it in red.
