Canadian Army Light AT weapon ?

[R-DEV]eggman · 05-18-2007, 12:42 PM

Typically for our Light AT weapons in PR we would want:
- iron sights
- unguided rocket
- ineffective agaisnt modern MBTs
- ~80mm calibre

So the AT4 is a great example of a Light AT weapon that complements the HAT weaponry and game play goals nicely.

I am not sure what LAT weapons the CF uses. I know that the Carl Gustav was in use and that the M72 has seen a revival in Afghanistan due to the proliferation of lightly armored targets.

But I am not sure what is the standard issue AT weapon that matches the performance criterion described above as closely as possible?

I think the M72 LAW is a good light AT they use, not sure.

Will as a heavy AT weapon they use the TOW anti-tank missile, but for light AT they use both the Carl Gustav/Carl G, and M72 LAW.

It's the one they use, yes.

I think you could prolly get the LAW from EoD. Might be worth contacting them.

Speaking of AT weapons... Do the Canadians use the Eryx? Just asking because I'm guessing that would be the heavy AT weapon for them if they actually do use them in real life..

Yes, the Canadian Forces use the ERYX heavy AT.

wait a sec... haha after about 150words, posting then reading the above, mabey the Carl woudl not be such a good idea for being their H-AT weapon. ERYX is already done, so that is one thing to tick off the list + possibly the law!

L-AT: M72 LAW from EOD?
H-AT: Eryx

wpgcivic said something along the lines that the M72 doesnt have alot of power but its easy enough to be carried around as a backup. Also, canada isnt buying anymore but they are still in use.
