The Javelin is the only NATO Heavy launcher in the modpack to actually be "man portable" but keep in mind it will be a slow moving team if they don't have some form of vehicle. The system makes up for its heavy weight by being one of the most powerful launchers we have available. The Javelin relies on IR guidance to find its target. This means to actually use the launcher you need to change your optic mode to one of the two FLIR modes before you can lock onto a target. you can do this by pressing "N" by default. It also means you can lock onto anything with a heat signature. Sadly through testing it does not seem to lock onto IR laser painters. After you have picked a target, make sure you are using the appropriate attack mode for your target by pressing LCTRL+TAB. Top attack is for armor, direct for structures. To lock your target hold TAB until you hear a solid tone and have a cross appear in the box around the target. Keep in mind you can zoom in and out with the optic. The Javelin is best fired from a crouching stance at longer ranges due to how much the weapon sways while trying to lock the target. | The Javelin is the only NATO Heavy launcher in the modpack to actually be "man portable" but keep in mind it will be a slow moving team if they don't have some form of vehicle.

The Javelin is the only NATO Heavy launcher in the modpack to actually be "man portable" but keep in mind it will be a slow moving team if they don't have some form of vehicle. The system makes up for its heavy weight by being one of the most powerful launchers we have available. The Javelin relies on IR guidance to find its target. This means to actually use the launcher you need to change your optic mode to one of the two FLIR modes before you can lock onto a target. you can do this by pressing "N" by default. It also means you can lock onto anything with a heat signature. Sadly through testing it does not seem to lock onto IR laser painters. After you have picked a target, make sure you are using the appropriate attack mode for your target by pressing LCTRL+TAB. Top attack is for armor, direct for structures. To lock your target hold TAB until you hear a solid tone and have a cross appear in the box around the target. Keep in mind you can zoom in and out with the optic. The Javelin is best fired from a crouching stance at longer ranges due to how much the weapon sways while trying to lock the target.
