Re: Question on ATGMS secondary attack roles...
From what I recall, the Hezbollah used old-style AT-3-series ATGMs against entrenched infantry. I think it may be better and easier to use another unit class for HE-only missiles, so you can run both anti-infantry and antitank teams side by side, without both bearing the load and the cost of useless ammo.
Say, you use the inf-ATGM class for up-to-date ATGMs used against tanks (these days, that would be Fagot, Konkurs, Milan, TOW, and whatever they could smuggle from SYria or Iran), and use another class (no matter what, heavy inf-ATGM, inf-RR... even guards inf-AT if it turns out these guys are better trained, or reversely) for teams who get older missiles with only HE warheads (or old HEAT warheads used against infantry, for that matter).
This way the dedicated ATGM teams don't lug around costly HE missiles, don't blast their cover firing at the first scout around and don't expend, er, expensive modern missiles against brick houses.
