db_zero Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Has anyone seen AT-14 launch from within buildings. I haven't seen it happen yet and my opponent who is very experienced with a lot of games played asked me the same question, so I'm wondering if that is WAD. Also I've seen my Javelin launched at an HQ infantry unit in a building. I've also seen opponents fire and hit my AT-14 team out in the open. I would think that a weapon like the Javelin would be saved for armored targets and not be used for plinking grunts, but I may be wrong about that. I suppose an AT-14 team is a legitimate target. Infantry squads in buildings if you have a limited number of missiles and enemy armor is present idk... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 You can use cover arcs (armor) to avoid the missiles being used for other targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttorneyAtWar Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have never seen an ATGM fire at infantry outside of buildings in CMBS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanL Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 So, javelins do get used against infantry. Both in the open and in buildings. Apparently it is fairly common in real life. The tac AI was adjusted to strongly favour armour targets. But it will still fire against infantry, especially in buildings. They will get used occasionally against infantry in the open but much less often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melm Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hmm, I know the 1.03 patch notes says AT-14 can now be fired inside building, I haven't seen it happened so far. Maybe because of campaign or scenarios I've played so far doesn't give much chance to do so.From my experience, Javelin rarely automatically fire at infantry target in CMBS. If my memory is correct, I only saw this case once or twice. I understand that it is painful to waste precious missile to infantry when this rarity happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ NZ Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I shot your AT 14 DB by direct targeting your AT14 with my Jav crewThey often will shoot if you get them to target directly what ever you want.Can be expensive use of a missile but worth it depending on the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
