Motorfix Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Warhammer Bradley: Modified M2A2 ODSs with the TOW missile system replaced with a two-tube Javelin Missile System, and ISU (Integrated Sight Unit) modifications for increased anti-tank lethality, without the need to continually track the target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Never produced beyond the prototype, certainly never deployed, so not going to be in CM:SF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan/california Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The question is why did they end the program? The Javelin is a much better system, and would simplify supply as well. X number of Javelins could be used by the vehicle or the dismounts as the situation dictates. Fire and forget is also a lifesaver against competent opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Given the current field use of both Javelins and TOW missiles as highly expensive HE grenades fired at low value targets, they probably figured TOW mounted on AFVs were more than sufficient for lower cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian90 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 BGM-71 have longer range than FGM-148, besides this, BGM-71 is cheaper so can be used not only as AT weapon, but also bunker buster, to attack structures etc. And warhead of BGM-71 is big enough to destroy almost all tanks from the front, only most modern ones can withstand that big motherf@#$er... think about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Do vehicle-fired TOWS in real life also have the annoying tendency to plow into the ground miles from the target like in CMSF? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 ;1186084']Do vehicle-fired TOWS in real life also have the annoying tendency to plow into the ground miles from the target like in CMSF? Depends on the gunner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be much happier with the TOW's longer range, better penetration and tandem warhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcrof Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Talking of missile upgrades, isn't there a variant of the Warrior with a couple of TOW launchers on the turret and a 25mm gun? Its called the desert warrior I think but it is only in service with Kuwait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Yes. It uses a Delco turret as used on the LAV-25. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian90 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 And Delco turret is much better than original one, main weapon is fully stabilised and 25mm got more ammo ready tu use than old RARDEN. But fortunetly soon FV510's got new turret's with 40mm CTA auto cannon's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 And FV511s, and presumably FV514s. There was a nice version of the Warrior put forward for the Swiss competition - Delco turret again, but this time with a 30mm Bushmaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
