Assumption? That's what actually happened; and is what happens all the time: armour squad hugging edge of map in attempt to flank another(or at least securing one direction as it's out of the map) or avoid stationary ATGM.mat552 wrote:You're making a lot of assumptions for the benefit of your argument (which keeps wandering around). When did we start talking about hugging the edge of the map or talking about multiple vehicles per side? Won't the APC squad also have multiple vehicles and shouldn't we assume they aren't idiots as well, that they can plan an ambush that maximizes their chance for success?
If your contention isn't with the LAHAT, what is it here?
Multiple?
You only got two BMP-3 on Bijar...
Again, ambush was success: shot first, hit first on side of MBT(which then took its time to stop, fire, and reverse behind hill before blowing up).
What is it? What could it possibly be? I guess you should just read and find out.

It's irrelevant because you go down 1v1 or 3v3/4v4 to Merkava in any case regardless of usage of ATGM.
Again, they simply reload faster if nothing else. This isn't world of tanks; reversing into cover isn't so easy so you can't mitigate advantage in reload time.
