Tank fired ATGM

I think It would be helpful(and very cool) if tanks fired atgm missles. Especially in those longer ranges where you have like a 50% chance of hitting someting.




For the MEC T-90: 9K120 Refleks


"The 9K120 Svir/Refleks (AT-11 SNIPER) is a laser-beam riding, antitank missile launched from the main gun of a tank or antitank gun. It is the successor to the earlier radio-command guidance AT-8 SONGSTER. The AT-11 can be fired by the T-72B, T-72S, T-80B, T-80U, and T-90 main battle tanks, and the 2A45M antitank gun. The 9K120 system uses beam-riding laser guidance. The tank directs a coded beam from a special gunnerÆs sight, which creates a laser "funnel" with the missile riding in the center. The 9K120 uses the 9M119 missile.

The ammunition nomenclature is 3UBK14 and consists of the 9M119 missile, a reduced charge propellant casing, and a spacer plug which seats the missile properly into the main gun. The 3UBK14 ammunition fits into the normal autoloader on the tank, and the normal load is 6 missiles. The 9M119 missile comes in two variants: the Svir, which is fired by the T-72B, T-72S, and 2A45M antitank gun; and the Refleks, which is fired by the T-80B, T-80U, and T-90 main battle tank. The Refleks round is 4 kg heavier and has a 5000 meter maximum range, whereas the Svir has a 4000 meter maximum range. The 4.2 kg, shaped charge found on both variants can penetrate 650-700 mm of RHA"




For USMC M1A2SEP: MRM-KE(aka X-rod)

For China Type-98: Same as MEC At-11



I think you could implement this by using the TV guided cam that you see on choppers. To balance it out, you could make it contrable/Very Strong(1shot one kill) but considerably slow and somewhat hard to control.

Not! These missiles are guided the same way all other SACLOS missiles - by keeping the sights on the target troughout the missile's flight. In fact, even the helicopters' missiles should't be guided the way they do now either!

Tanks dont need missiles, having APC's with missiles is a nic balance. It means is an APC driver is sneaky they can destroy a tank. Tanks dont requite misiles to fight one another nor anything else. If they only had 1 ammo type then sure give them missiles. but with 2 ammo types its a bit more unbalancing.

We are considering this because it would be nice to give a unique capabilities to different teams.

We're working on that, Wonder.

Thank you! Thank you!

Type 98 is an ATGM but is user fired based on a laser readout from the computer - it is not computer guided. Maybe it could be adapted to be....but how about an HJ8/9/10 instead

But there are one hell of a lot of ATGM's mounted on vehicles
