Just what is needed: a $4000 whoopie cushion.

Your tax dollars at work!

In truth, $40,000 is really, really cheap to take out an enemy tank, since even crappy ones cost millions.

Sounds promising, but I think I'd need to see some additional testing, perhaps against a target, before I'd commit.

I think they need to do some work on the guidance system.

Seems, Idk, French?

Minimum: I think they need to do some work on the guidance system.

A bit slow, too. You don't want the tank dodging your missile.

I once heard (from my sixth grade teacher) that you could get old Russian T-34s for about a $100,000 if you knew who to ask.

Out of everything I thought was going to fly out of the launcher, that was not one of them.

True; just like that "tank" that the Tampa police had is just old, old, old army surplus. And you could enter a '40 Ford in a NASCAR race but that wouldn't mean it could compete. That's a 30s-era design!

I was never enthralled with the idea of infantry in anti tank operations myself. They're a nice "Oh fark, T-80s out of nowhere" weapon, but that's about it. Personally I loved the AT-4 and was sad to hear the FGM-172 was killed off. The AT-4 was a kickass bunker buster. Machine gun nest? No problem sir!

Admittedly not so useful against a tank, but they you could hump a decent number of them around in a squad. Odds are you'd run into an enemy hardpoint instead of a platoon of enemy tanks.

/leave the armor to the Apaches, Cobras, A-10s, etc

netizencain: Just as effective as the Javelin in BF3

No! I'm just about to get that. Surely it's better than the SMAW?

A used T-72 goes for about 100K.

Approves.

chrisco123: Really doing a great job, boys. You're almost working as hard as construction workers. And, to think, these guys are "honored" when they come home.

I know you're Extreme Trolling but, JIC - Sure, even after you're on your 11th consecutive deployment you should still have your war face on at all times, no time for morale until the (undeclared) war(s) are over, right?

A douche is you.

The Javelin is really great for those pesky T-90s. You just have to make sure your covered behind a rock really well or the operator is a n00b, just rushing past his surroundings with no other support.

Pop out, fire your load, and run like hell because someone will notice that they're tank just went boom and will be looking for you.

Also, even more fun is planting C4 on the back, but sometimes that takes two hits to completely kill the vehicle.

It's horrible.

No reason to use it.

Takes forever and a day to lock on and even if you do it right the damage is minimal. You can only carry like 3 missiles for it compared to like 9 for the RPG and 3 isn't enough to kill a tank, specially if there's an engineers on the tank.

Well, that's disappointing....

Is a defense contractor now?

Subby Fail. Those are British soldiers.

First video of it in action.

Guess I should click on the link first....lol

Prefers this Javelin.

ah shiat, ya know when Israel see's this video, they are going to ban balloons from Palestine.

VERY IMPORTANT
javelin IS worthless unless you pair it with the SOFLAM available to the recon class. He lasers the tanks (or aircraft!!!) you lock on WITHOUT line of sight, and the rocket flies straight up, coming down seconds later for increased damage! 2 shots to blow up any tank in the game (engineer or no) and 1 shot for aircraft. (so awesome to watch them pop flares that are useless because it's laser guided)

My dad was an engineer on the Javelin when it was in development. He showed me a video of it going down the barrel of an Abrams tank during testing back in the 80's. Wicked little beast.
