Dumb RPGs are still very useful. Not every target is an armoured tank. An old RPG aimed at a fuel truck is very effective.

It's more of a range thing.

Hitting an enemy fuel truck from 5000m away is a lot safer than running up and shooting it at 200m.

200m shots are common in a city, because cover / concealment is everywhere. Sure, there are still trees and hills to hide in the countryside, but having the option for super long range really helps.
