It should be just a TOW

AT-14 kornet missile range is set 5500m (110 hexes). Although this represents the range of the missile, I've only found the sights (both optical and thermal) to "reach" 3500m. (Identification range, or classification range according to some sites) Vehicle mounted system may have different sights though...

The problem is, that this is only 2nd or actually more like 3rd hand info. At least source in turn referred to a document by Jane's, which I was unable to access.

Some sites, however note the at-14 being able to ATTACK targets a ranges around 5000 - 5500. There is no info about the sight performance however...

Any reliable info about at-14 or any new russian atm sight range characteristics would be welcome...

In many systems the "identification range" is well under the max weapon range, would it only be because of the possible target driveoff. That doesn't represent the max sighting range though, only above this value you have higher chances of confusing your target for something else, implying higher fratricide probability. I don't know what range the game rules are meant to deal with though.

True. Nothing prevents launching the missile as soon as target appears in the optics. So detection range would be the choise. Detection range itself varies somewhat according to circumstances but as the range tends to be stated as "up to" it would well do as max range.

The IFF point in mind someone might want to use the identification range though, since friendly fire is not allowed.

The reason why I took this up, is because the missile ranges appear as the projectile's max ranges. And there's a lot of speculation out there considering the sights' performances.

Well... Guess I'm just another sceptical bonehead...
