Rocket weaponry being able to hit both the shield and the robot for full damage makes almost no sense. The Écu has a significant amount of coverage on most robots, which should dampen or negate most, if not all, explosive damage. This is because explosions do not, in fact, penetrate objects, or wrap around them. Yes, the explosion could send shock through the shield, but the Écu also​ appears to have shock absorbers. If rockets must​ be able to damage robots past the shield for gameplay purposes, the correct way would be if the rockets hit somewhere behind the shield and have the blast radius damage the robot. The homing missiles already do this, they fly around the shield, but do no damage to the robot if they impact the shield directly. Logically there should be nothing different about the payloads of linear firing rocket weaponry.
