Default Re: ATGM on fighters

Well ... ATGMs are typically very slow, the fighter would run into it's own missile. If you want anti-tank capability on a fighter use something like a Maverick.

Additionally weapons have a "Weapon Class", this determines several things about the weapon, aircraft and helos usually don't use the same "Weapon Class" as ground units. Thus a weapon with a ground unit "Weapon Class" won't work on an aircraft/helo any more then putting say bombs on a tank would allow it to use them.
