Was there a mod done to these weapon platforms?
I use to curse at my ATGM (TOW) vehicles for their sup par performance, might as well been throwing rocks.

Depending on your opponent these are actually a viable option now and not wasted points.

Thanks in advance!!

Take the last Leo2 German version. Laugh and laugh and laugh at the enemy missiles. I am not talking about 1-2 missiles. I am talking about 30-40 top of the line missiles (not top attack) against a single tank and nothing happening to it apart from suppression. It brings the fear of god to the opponent. HAHAHAHAHAHA

(though I am usually on the other end, but still, funny)

ATGMs are cool, just not very useful in all cases.
Depends really in your case I am thinking Turkey vs Greece battles.
In which case the ATGMs are generally very effective.
From memory Greek modern tank force is composed about only 10% Leo 2s so most tanks are an easy kill as they are Leo 1s & M60 series tanks.

So just set Tukish Milans to engage armour under 70 & they hurt.
Front attacks vs Leo 2s are still worth doing however if the situation requires, hull hit & a bit of luck will cause damage or on rare occasions a kill letting your armor expose its self for the finishing shot so you must be lucky.

Edit I just looked suppose you are talking about Turkish Leo 2T, didn't even realise they had em. Now I have got to see how many but I am guessing not a lot.
From a quick none reliable source both sides have about the same number of Leo 2s
