Negative. HJ-8 is wire guided.

The HJ-8 is a vBF2 asset and has been in PR from the start, you just dont see many of them since they are mostly a main base defence. Quick google pic for one seen in vBF2:


All I've done is turn it into a deployable version, while fixing up a few things on it

I think this is great! Infantry can actually defend a FOB if a HAT or LAT kit had been used.

Finally, FOBs aren't further raped by APCs and Tanks...no we can fight back
Looks ace man

Very nice =P
Have to try it ingame though, hope it's not too good so the apc-s/tanks still have a chance to fight, but not rape =)

Thanx devs!!!

Sweet! This should make Kashan a lot more fun when playing infantry!

if possable, i would like to see a limit of 2 on a map. another possability would be deployable L-AT. it would still give armor pause before attacking a Firebace, but because of the reduced accuracy at range it wouldent be used for snipeing across the map.
i beleave this assests needs extencive testing befor being implamented.

At Last...
With this + 87D , Fob should be manned and defended...

Now that i really think about it trough,
Will make vehicue run waaaaayyy tricky if one of those is hided 250m away in a forest (in.ex) camping any road...

Looking foward to it

Finally, a deployable AT. I was just playing on Muttrah defending a firebase in the hills above the dock when an APC just started plowing all over us, and I was hiding behind a HMG with only a scoped rifleman kit WISHING that there was something I could do. Luckily it ran over a C4.
= careless APCs from now on
