Probably a variant of the MIRA used for MILAN's ATGM.


Just looking into this now as I didn't have time at the original posting

The Eryx teams in the French OOB have vision 15. That allows them to see 15 hexes or 750 yards in the dark. The standard night sight on that weapon is a Sopelem OB-50 which is rated for not much better. The MIRABEL is an option and it's only good for 1000 yards ( 20 in the game ) but please note BOTH of those ranges exceed the actual range of the Eryx it self ( 12 hexes or 600 metres )

15 vision is plenty and all nations using the Eryx now have 15 vision ( most already did a couple didn't ). The available sights for this weapon do not justify a 40( TI ).


The AGS-17 AGL HE kill ( 6 ) in the Iraqi and Syrian OOB's is wrong and has been corrected
