Or even the Dollar Flu.

The funny thing is, fiction and real-life have this 'fun' relationship with each other (i.e. the two love to curb notes from each other at the minimum, go 'hold my bear' at the maximum), and given that EndoSteel has become a genuine thing back in 2016, people have stopped laughing at...

Arrow IVs are artillery and from what I can understand, their harder to take down with AMS if the rules applied, and Thunderbolts have a literal 50/50 chance of being destroyed (roll 1 D6, 1-3 means missile (be NARC or Thunderbolt) is destroyed, 4-6 means missile manages to get through, please...

In Battletech, AMS ended the era of single, powerful missiles, hence why practically all missiles are either salvo-based or -in the case of capital missiles- optimized for space combat in the anti-ASF role (AMS vs CapMissiles is a bit different, as they operate on the capital damage system, but...

Hence why I said it had indirect fire capability. Although, to be frank, I won't be surprised that missiles are going to go the way of Battletech after a fashion with ADS proliferating like hell.

Spike NLOS can be used in an indirect fire mode and uses enhanced IR imaging sensors. It's one of the most modern and advanced ATGMs right now. Given that anything less than 'hiding behind a solid object/terrain' capable radar is proliferating, this allows for helicopters to have some attack...

The missile itself is almost 50kg in weight, that is before adding in all the requirements for a man-portable ATGM launcher. TOWs are the upper limit of what you can do with them, and their man-portable (for a very 'minimal' definition of man-portable) setups are massive multipart constructs.

Especially since Hellfires are going to be retooled to be a -to quote GURPS- a vehicular TAC missile (basically a missile that is designed to kill aircraft and vehicles equally, in the game its a KE missile and infantry-carried but the Hellfires in this role would be using either HEDP or HEAT...

I'm not surprised, but then again the Israelis probably did most of the legwork on the integration bit.
