Lav-at

[Suhiir]

Currently in the USMC OOB (#13) the LAV (AT) 1/83-12/120, Unit #27, carries Weapon #158 BGM-71C I-TOW (8 HEAT ammo).

More correctly it should be:

LAV-AT 01/83-06/87 weapon #164 BGM-71D TOW-2 (16 HEAT ammo) weapon #52 M60 AAMG (90 ammo) vision 30

LAV-AT 07/87-06/92 weapon #163 BGM-71E TOW-2A (16 HEAT ammo) weapon #52 M60 AAMG (90 ammo) vision 40

LAV-ATA1 07/92-12/120 weapon #165 BGM-71F TOW-2B (16 HEAT ammo) weapon #53 M240 AAMG (90 ammo) vision 45
armor improved to A1 standard

The LAV-AT TI/GSR will be closer to 50 OR 60 with the addition of the TOW ITAS, posted this earlier in the APC thread. This reaches beyond the LAV-AT to the TOW Teams themselves. Hope to have that part for the Crew Served PP inputs later this year, those refs are in place as well.

"7. USA/USMC updating LAV-AT vehicles with TOW ITAS, TI/GSR and turret system. The issue raised here is how current are the U.S. infantry TOW Systems as ITAS has been fielded since 2007? I sense another "rabbit hole" issue again!?! This ref provides further related links at the bottom.

Refs from "DID" site are great as they put others within their articles (Highlighted phases or words.) and normally offer further reading at the bottom.

This is why I'm always :capt: the news.

Gotta get some sleep-some of us have to work well...later today.
Have a great weekend!!

It would probably be closer to 50-60, but currently the game allows very few ratings past 40 so I was conservative.

The highlights are to clarify the real ammo loadout of the LAV-AT.
