A far more Middle Eastern HAT than the Eryx

Would love to see this make it into the game eventually for the MEC forces.

What with the Eryx being used by Canada, Norway and France, and the RPG-29 being used by Russia, I think it'd make a good choice. Partly developed by Jordan, there's even a chance they may sart being manufactured there.

I am sure it might be more realistic and such but getting the MEC a new HAT it probably really low priority.

Hm, that looks a lot like how a AT-4 in PR Would work.. I think the Eryx is fine as for we don't have any French, Canadian, or Norwegian forces in PR. Yet.

What, the AT-4 isn't working now?

But this looks nothing like it.
Are you perhaps confusing it with the Carl Gustav, a more similar Bofors weapon?

i think he means that Eryx is guided and Hashim is not, like AT-4

Yes, It looks like an unguided weapon, like the AT-4. Sorry for any confusion.

yea i dont think a hat necessarily needs to be guided. it just needs to be stronger than the lat.

Actually guided AT weapons are need on maps like Kashan, however I play PR for realism so go ahead :)

What's wrong with them getting the Eryx? Maybe in the near future the company that patented it allows other arms manufacturers to make some?

Or they could be like china and make un-licensed copies.

I think the ERYX is Canadian and French made, in the game the mec are fighting the US so I don't think they would continue to supply them with them, unless they are already producing there own.

Eryx is French mad (and Canadian) and the Middle east uses A LOT of French equiptment because in the cold war era most European Countries would either buy US or West German equipment so the French turned to the middle east..

That does not count for the Eryx though since it was made in 1994.

Personally, the fewer Russia weapons the MEC gets, the better.
