Default Re: TOW

Making them crew-served is an interesting option indeed, but what will it change to the ammo-vs-crew problem?
Apart from the fact that you won't have a fixed two-men icon 'covering' for a four-men team, as is often the case for e.g. MG sections.

BTW, Listy, one thing I haven't solved yet about these crew-served ATGMs is which class they are supposed to be stacked into. AT-Gun or RLR team I suppose? Maybe some SPATGM class would work in those (rare) orbats where there is one unused.
Thinking about the whole thing, I wonder if in modern western armies, the SAMs working on this principle (Javelin-etc. LML, Rbs-70, Mistral...) shouldn't be the mainstay of the "Area SAM" class, the long-range ones being less and less used on the field.
