Hmm - have you actually tried firing it at AFV type targets?

Special code exists for ATATS - and the missile is dual-purpose, they dont load TOW

Sorry to be obtuse - but do you mean the ADATS can shoot AFVs in WinMBT? I have to admit that this was a suggestion that carried over from SPMBT, so no, I haven't tried it.

BTW - I used to live in Edinburgh too (Dalkeith Road). In Canada now.
Yes - special code for SAM with HEAT values, which has always been there (check the weapon stats for details in Mobhack) - only ADATS uses this code feature.

Not detailed in the diocumentation as such a minor item for (?2?) user nations. But anyone running light recce AVF round in the rear zone of a modern Canadian army trying to play "whack the SAMS" may find themselves getting slapped back !

Try a test scenario and you will see them use HEAT values if they strike an AFV. The round is dual purpose SAM/ATGM - no need to have separate ATGM "rounds" issued in the OOB.

Though I would not go deliberately using them as tank hunters as perhaps too a) big/obvious and b) valuable to risk as such.
