The TOW is an effective weapon, but it takes a lot to lug around. It can be disassembled and carred in two pieces like any other "static" weapon in ARMA. The TOW has a very good field of fire when mounted on its Tripod. It can point almost vertical, and can depress sufficiently low to allow the weapon to be mounted in awkward locations so long as the physics gods of ARMA have mercy. Using the TOW is simple. You point the crosshair at the target and hold it there. Since this is a wire guided missile, you can follow moving targets and to some extent fire over hills with good timing. In ARMA the TOW has an effective range of 4km, though the longer the shot, the harder the accuracy suffers. Long range shots may require moving the crosshair around while watching the rocket motor to adjust the shot. The TOW offers FLIR in its optic package, Strangely if you try to cycle to black hot, it will change to RHS syle white hot instead.
