Prior to launch, the target is acquired and tracked by 3D target acquisition radar. Upon launch, the missile flies to a lock-on point, following on-board inertial navigation. The missile then activates its two-colour IR-seeker and locks on. Target updates are received via data link, enabling the missile to counter evasive manoeuvres by the target

There’s around 2 dozen potential light tanks and armoured cars that can go in the British tree in ranks 1 & 2 alone. Such as:

  • Light Mk. VIC
  • Guy Mk. IA
  • Humber Mk. I
  • Humber Mk. II
  • Humber Mk. III
  • Humber Mk. IV
  • Vickers Command tank
  • Daimler Mk. I
  • Daimler Mk. I (Littlejohn)
  • Daimler Mk. II (Littlejohn)
  • Coventry Mk. I
  • Coventry Mk. II
  • Tetrarch (Littlejohn)
  • Harry Hopkins
  • AEC Mk. I
  • AEC Mk. II (L/43)
  • AEC Mk. III
  • Staghound Mk. I
  • Staghound Mk. I (RP-3)
  • Staghound Mk. I (Landmattress)
  • Staghound Mk. III
  • Boarhound

Commonwealth:

  • Fox Mk. I
  • Rhino
  • Schofield
  • Wolf Mk. I Armoured Car

Lend-lease:

  • Stuart Hybrid
  • Stuart II
  • Stuart IV
  • Stuart V
  • Stuart VI
  • Locust
  • Locust (Littlejohn)
  • Chaffee

That’s pretty much everything that could be added in ranks 1 & 2. I’ve excluded anything with an armament worse than an M2 .50 cal. So no Boys, and no .50 Vickers. There’s also field conversions I’m missing, so realistically this list could a lot be bigger.

Double post (sorry) not really a modern tank/AFV guy but ASLAV with TOW’s could be unique. Edit: Apparently not that unique, it’s called the Delco turret.
