I remember hearing somewhere a TOW is about $1500/missile? Ignorance may be bliss, but it sure ain't fun! |

Dude, that thing ain't no Maverick. Not by a very, very long shot. Take it from a former tank commander, that toy isn't killing a main battle tank anytime soon. It's got its place on the battlefield, but comparing it to a 65 is like comparing a hand grenade to a Mk-82. Keep in mind the 65k's and d's have 125 lbs shaped charge warhead. The complete missile fired from that system weighs 5 lbs. It's cool, and it'll kill bad guys, but a man portable Mav it is not. Mini-Mav, kind of I guess, but one could call a pellet gun a mini-howitzer if one were so inclined. Edited by - Detzel on Sep 30 2006 18:05 |

Of the variants used by USAF, the B-, D-, and H-model Mavs have the 125-lb shaped charge warhead, mostly good on tanks and other vehicles. The G- and K-model Mavs have 300-lb kinetic penetrator warhead, good on buildings, bridges and ships in addition to tanks. G's and K's are muy bueno. PILSUNG!

Mavericks are wicked weapons. I've shot a few K's in the sim, but the display in there doesn't differentiate very well between the IIR and the TV, they both look pretty much the same. (Same with B and D) As for the topic at hand, again I think that new man portable job is a good tool, and will hopefully kill a few hadjis, but for taking out heavy armor there's nothing like a big, heavy guided missile. |
