Default Re: Javelin ATGM

The range limitations seem to be more of a limitation of having a direct line of sight and safety considerations. The seeker on the missile seems not to be able to distinguish between targets at ranges over 2000 meters. This could lead to friendly fire incidents.

However, if you read the safety section of the manual(Scroll down to drawing, then read section d. titled AREA A) you will find mention of the true maximum range of 4000 meters.

The test shot on the site I provided was made at 4000 meters.

On the other end of the debate I would also add that seeing we are training our troops to fire the Javelin only out to 2000 meters then I guess that this will have to be the range in the game.
