ATGM Launcher

World of Darkness - Armory

An Anti-Tank Guided Missile is the one weapon with which a single character can hope to destroy a tank. Some advanced ATGM launchers use radar or laser guidance, but most ATGMS are TOW (Tubelaunched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided) systems, in which the missiles trail steering wires behind them through which the gunner sends steering commands. ATGMs carry HEAT warheads, which gives them immense armor penetration capability but limits their utility against area targets. Against targets smaller than Size 15, attacks with ATGMs suffer a penalty equal to the Size differential.
Examples: French Eryx, American M47 Dragon, Israeli NT-S Spike, Russian 9M131
