The Javelines have to firing modes, one where it goes straight to the target like a normal AT launcher, and another where it is fired into the air and strikes the tank on the weakest part (the top of the turret). I have a video were they were test firing the Javeline on an old T-72 and it took it out completely, only thing left was some of the treads and the lower part of the tank (the T-72 and the T-80 should actually be the tanks that the MEC should have... but whatever).

Actually that video you posted would be the video I was talking about.

The Javelin is the only troop carried anti-tank missile that I'm aware of that could take out a Main Battle Tank in one hit. The Eryx and the SMRAW defiantly couldn't take out a MBT (especially not an Abrams or the Challenger 2) in one hit, hell even two hits is a little extreme (unless they're both to the top or direct rear hits). But most likely, the tank would just be disabled (and sometimes just from moving, not from attacking).

Unfortunately, Battlefield 2's engine can't handle a damage system like that in Operation Flashpoint.

By hitting to the rear of the tank with a javelin I meant that I thought it had enough power, theoretically, to take out if it hit a mbt in the rear armor. Because I don't see battlefield 2's game engine allowing you to have a missle act the way it did in that video where it flew up and came down to hit the top without insane manuel control. The rear portion of the tank seems to be a decent alternative if it would be impossible to reproduce a real javelin.

i think it is a good idea to make it and ALTERNATIVE to the top but also if hit one top directly form a building

Thats cool as long as the Middle Eastern Coalition or the Chinese are given one or something along those lines because that would be extremely unrealistic, we (the United States) have superior weaponry and training, while other nations have superior numbers and decent weaponry (granted, superior numbers isn't something you can really code into a game, or training).

note: by other nations I mean opposing nations, not nations like England. So you brits, dont get your panties in a wad :p .

I liked the superior numbers idea and I don't see it impossible to do, then again, I don't know anything about coding.

Another alternative to this is to make maps where the U.S. is at a disadvantage.
