I think we need to "nerf" the TOW and make it so that it too has a lock-on before fire, this'll also give the tank a little more of a warning if they (DEVs) decide to put in an alarm system for the lock on instead of the near destruction tone that is used right now but doesn't seem to happen quite often anyways. Thought this suggestion should go in here becuase we were on topic of anti-tank matters; said suggestion will/should (becuase nothing is certain until you try it) increase the need to take out MBTs and in ture the willingness to co-operate with these anti-tank operations.

As another person just told you this is entirely unrealistic with TOW missles or AT systems there is no warning alarm in the tank before detonation or impact and I donot think we need unrealistic features in game to make things more balanced. The way the TOW could be nerfed is to do the same type of damage APC TOW's do now which isn't always a insta death but sometimes can be which is fairly realistic and a bit more suitable to gameplay at least giving tanks more of a chance, but can't say that about apc's. I have hope for this in the next patch though.

I'd like to get an MA's knowledge on this subject before this goes on any farther.

Even though it's gameplay > reality, I believe the current situation is fine how it is.

agreed, many times the explosion of the AT just kill the crew and fuck the tank apart. of course, this ''fuck'' sometimes mean litle damage. because the weopow are not going to make a blow into the tank but into the crew.

but like the autor of the post, i never shooted a AT into a tank. so i cannot say anything.

Can you possibly disable the tracks with a LAT or two? instead of not really doing anything to it
