LAT?

[Goblin]

ok got a question here about the LAT kit.

yeasterday evening I hade a posibility to actully hit a smoking MBT and I whas wondering if it would have killed it or disabelt it? seeing it whas already smoking alot so I kinda figured it whas major damaged already.

I choose not to incase it whas a waste and a better target might come bye my location, so I let him drive of not shoiting at him, whas I right to do so or shut I have taken the shot?

What im really asking is do the LAT even damage MBT at all and if they doo I geuss it takes alot of LAT?s to bring one down unless like im asking would I have been able to disable it or perhabs even kill it, because it whas damaged already.

My LAT kit whas the one with the 2 RPGs.

hi,

i assume youre talking about the insurgents lat - i dont think theres any other 2 shot rpg than that (rpg-26 has only 1).
a conventional forces lat does quite some decent damage to a mbt, leaving out hit to the front armor. for example if you have a shot on the top, or the hatch (merk) it aint a waste, unless theres a better target (apc = freekill).
the insurgent lat is a little less harmful, but you compensate that by having a 2nd shot (same as the new russian hat).

irl a conventional forces lat could indeed take out the tanks crew or disable their tracks or even with a - goddamn lucky - shot between turret and body (thats not the right term, but im too lazy to find it out - "wanne" would be the german term) you could kill it. but due to the limitation of the engine that cant be implemented.

Yes, a insurgent LAT (RPG 7) does damage a MBT. It's probably around 1-5% HP, but hit it enough times and it might start burning.

And a conventional LAT (RPG 26) can kill a MBT with around 7 shots.

put it like this: It may not do any proper damage, but if you hit him with a big rocket that goes boom then he's gonna know about it, and he'll probably want to turn and run to avoid it happening again.

OK thx alot for the answers, year I figured it might scare him off even more, and I think he whas already on his way back to repair at the main.

And i also thought that the rpg with 2 rounds whas weaker then the 1 shot LAT kits because of the ammo count.

Next time I will take the shot definitly if he is damaged perhabs I can disable him or even make him burn, and even be able to get the 2 shot off aswell
