OK - I'll check this out.

Re: Atgm
 

Don't know if this helps but I was playing with the editor trying to make a placed demo charge.
Russian OOB I copied weapon 120 demo charge & while fiddling adjusted warhead size to 30.
Replaced demo charge with this weapon (so slot 4) & found it did not z fire.
If I turned off a previous weapon slot however it did which made me wonder if this is tied to warhead size somehow.

Edit ignore that tried putting in weapon slot 3 also & fires that fine.
If I turn off slot 1 or 2 it also z fires slot 4

Well, IMO the AI buys too many of these atgms like they are cheap and readily availible to all countries all the time ,when in reality not so with 3rd world nations they are very rare, and mostly RPG's.

I think it's rarity issue that needs addressing and players in pbem discussing how many this and if any are allowed or make the cost of them more so much as to be less desirable.

Just my humble two cents.

ATGM's have ruined my day more than once. I guess it's a good thing. Makes me aware my tanks ain't invincible. More realistic.

I think their so common because they don't require heavy industry to manufacture, plus their probably sold on the black market.

Re: Atgm
 

Its off topic really but certainly the high end ones can be rare, probably due to cost for other than the main players, Javelins for example orders placed by countries are often say 60 launchers & 200 or so missiles. This applies to lots of equipment though APCs tanks etc may be in the OOB but they may only have a company or 2 of them or at least a small percentage of the total force available.
Conversely you could have lots of gear though the quality might be questionable. 20,000 MANPADS in Libya for example.
