It is important to note that in a meeting engagement that many ATGM carriers outpace all but the most recent generation of MBTs. Soviet BRDM-2s outpace most other vehicles in the game for instance. This allows one to set them up in defilade positions before one's opponent arrives on scene, hard to do without costly helicopters or paradrops with infantry ATGM teams. Furthermore, if they survive attacks they are much more able to flee the scene than infantry teams.
