exsonic01 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 AT4 can use various type of rockets. Like HEDP, HEAT, and etc. What is the one for ingame-US army? HEAT? HEDP? Like RPG7, can soldiers choose the rocket types for AT4? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xIGuNDoCIx Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Not sure but would like to know as well. I would also like to know why we can't "Loose The Goose" with the Carl Gustav? I had read an article a few years ago about the US Army having made provisions to purchase and kit out combat units with the Carl G due to the ineffectiveness of the AT-4 in Afghanistan.

akd Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Wrong weapon. What we have in game is the disposable anti-tank M136A1 (AT4-CS). http://www.pica.army.mil/pmccs/CombatMunitions/ShoulderLaunched/AT4-CS.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 M136 is the successor to the LAW. One shot and she's done, there's no alternate varieties of rockets to load. The more AT4 type rockets you put in a unit, the more launchers you're giving to your dudes vs more ammunition. Re: Carl G It hasn't come to much as far as I can tell. The M136 remains the "bear mace" weapon for dealing with tanks and armor, and its about as good as any other rocket for that purpose. As far as busting bunkers and the like, the pressing need just sort of went away. Between aviation, other ground systems (truck mounted TOWs, Javelins, MK-19s, tanks etc) and the shifting nature of both the war on terror conflicts (away from going block to block, cave to cave) the role is more or less filled "well enough." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagler Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 There are different types of M136, we used the AST variant in Afghan a few times. Only A1 is in game though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that means this AT4-CS use HEDP? or HEAT? So far I just assumde ingame AT4CS use HEAT with 400mm RHA penetration since it is mainly used as AT weapon with decent penetration.... or is this use HP, the High Penetration with 600mm RHA?

Ryujin Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 HEAT. Manual says 420mm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagler Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Think its only singular warhead though isn't it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryujin Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yeah, 84mm single HEAT. Not a ton of punch, so really most effective against light BMP/BTR targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exsonic01 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Oh, was that in the manual? I clearly missed that. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
