Knowing how to effectively field your Anti-Tank weapons can make or break a mission. Be it that tank bearing down on you across a bridge, or a Bunker that needs leveled. This guide will include the different types of munitions, various optic guides, and lock procedures to help you understand the Anti-Tank weapon systems in our modpack.


Classes of Anti-Tank

There are three main classes of Anti-tank weapons, Each one is useful in different situations.

Light Anti-Tank

Most commonly seen in the form of Rifleman AT soldiers in our missions. Light anti-tank is normally the least effective form of anti-tank. These launchers will likely be single shot disposable launchers. Since they are meant to be highly portable they normally have smaller calibers, which means light Anti-tank launchers are most effectively used on lightly armored vehicles, or the sides and rear of medium or heavy armor. If you are trying to use light anti-tank against the front armor of a main battle tank you will most likely have a bad day.

Medium Anti-Tank

We deploy Medium Anti-Tank in the form of three man MAT teams. Medium anti-tank is normally a higher caliber re-loadable launcher with optic mounts and a much longer effective range than its more portable light counterpart. Medium anti-tank packs a punch and normally include various ammo types for more effective use against certain targets. Anything with armor can be engaged by medium anti-tank, though heavy armor may still take more than one round if you aren't going for weak points.

Heavy Anti-Tank

Three man HAT teams should expect to have the least mobile, but most effective anti-tank launcher on the battlefield. With a few exceptions heavy anti-tank is mostly static crew served weaponry. These launchers can be anything from tripod mounted recoilless rifles to wire-guided or even fire and forget lock-on systems. Like heavy anti-tank launchers normally come with multiple munitions.
