Default Re: NLAW

Ah OK... this clarifies much!

So hopefully in next patch you have taken this into account, and NLAW (+ all other future weapons of similar kind, if any are coming?) would be the sort of "semi-ATGM" that it is - so no 1-2-3 nor 1-2 ladder, no way for vehicles to use VIRSS to block the missile (being unguided and flying to the predicted point anyways, vision blocked or not)? And also not as accurate as real ATGMs as with NLAW once the missile leaves the tube, any evasive action (intentional or unintentional) can ruin the shot (maybe targets can use evasion like with ATGMs, but with a lot smaller chance, as the range is so short, that you really need to see the launch and have reflexes of a cat )

At the moment it seems that it's still best to use NLAW as TA-ATGM with high accuracy rating, or to add LRF and FC to the team (this is what I have currently, and it boosts the team's cost from ~30 to ~100, which is not bad thing at all considering the cost of the weapon in real life vs. older rechoilles -weapons) and have the unpleasant side effect of super-accurate small arms (not a big deal anyways)... otherwise, as it is now, the weapon is quite useless (because it doesn't hit the broad side of a barn), even with the very high penetration value (100)...
