It's been changed? I guess it happened when I wasn't playing and after returning I was always somewhat surprised people would pick 500kg because I remember it being kinda ass. The eagle was prone to missing and the short blast radius meant it barely did anything if it missed, so it was kind of a gamble where 9 times out of ten it would work and then that 1 time you really needed it to work it wouldn't work.
I guess I need to give it a new try.
