Anti-tank weapons for infantry

[night owl]

The PLA squad comes with two anti-tank missile launchers. The MEA get an RPG for tank killing.

The USMC and British Army squads don't seem to have any anti-armor capability. The British don't have the next gen LAW or the Javelin which shold both be in service well before the time frame of this game. The USMC doesn't get anything either. They don't even have the AT4.

How do they deal with armor? They don't seem to have any way to do it. It seems a bit odd considering how common these weapons are these days.

Just for fun here's a video of some guys blowing stuff up with the Javelin.

Well, believe it or not, but the SAW used by the USMC is capable of destroying entire armored columns.

5.56 mm light machinegun...armored columns

No, I don't believe it.

 

[Hiromoon]

Good, because if you did...I'd have to get the flamethrower out.

Your a star, best laugh in a long time

The first wave infantry squads are just going to be the basic assortment of troopers. I'm sure the factions that don't have anti-armour infantry right at the start will get it in subsequent releases

 

[Hiromoon]

Well....not exactly dedicated Anti-Armor Infantry, Lorcan. *checks all 11 waves*

 

[Lorcan Nagle]

Yeah, I didn't mean dedicated tank killer crews, but squads with anti-armour support weapons rather than anti-infantry.

 

[Hiromoon]

Well...on that I can't really say beyond no dedicated anti-tank. For the moment.
