im not entirely sure on the actual figure but its pretty safe to say you are WELL over the maximum.

maybe just force spawning with bazooka, im pretty sure you can set an ammount of time until the model resets meaning, you can have less rockets but make them "respawn" every 10 seconds or something. people arent going to live forever to need all these bazookas remember.

Entities limit can be really irritiating problem, cause nobody knows how much you can put them in your map.
AFAI can recall point entities limit is 400, but you should be aware that server plugins also use these entities and your map can work ok on your computer but crash online server. I don;t think that any admin will be removing any plugins just to play your map, so keep you entity number low. I suggest not higher than 300.
