8 isnt even the most it could carry as of now according to gaijin as in the xray the left side only holds 3 of the 4 that could fit so it really should be 8+1. no idea why they think an extra MILAN to miss with would help that much.
Damn I am really proud of everybody. I feel good to put my 3 cents into this case just by playing the warrior during my job
I would pay money to see gaijin model a pile of Milan’s in the back of the warrior, I would laugh so much and spam milans at everything
Do you guys think they’ll add thermals to the desert warrior?
Yes, I think it’s just a dev server oddity that it currently lacks them. Should hopefully appear with the update.

Additionally, the gunner’s thermal sight is GEN 2, perfect for homing-in on enemies at distances in all types of weather.

Also the reverse being same as forward is incredibly nice.

Someone asked me about FoM being confirmed, I hadn’t heard anything about that (especially since the article calls the launchers “deployable”), but I did check the datamine and removing FoM is incredibly easy, just 2 lines in the vehicle’s .blk, so I’m kinda hopeful that it’s an intended feature
What is FoM?
but only four atgm,which is disappointing
Fire on the Move
I was always under the impression that TOW missiles inherently cannot be fired on the move due to the fact they are wire guided, is that not the case?

Unfortunately probably not, as far as I’m aware tows (and other wire guided systems in general) flat out cannot be FoM. There is a reason the Russians researched Laser guided and radio guided ATGMs so much.
The US uses radio frequency TOW-2As and Bs which could potentially be fired on the move as they have no wire, which is the limiting factor
iirc we don’t have any radio Tows in game, so I was kinda of ignoring them for the purposes for my comment
Plus the demo video in the dev blog has visible wires
I believe the US planned to upgrade Kuwait’s Desert Warriors in the early 2010’s to use more modern TOWS.
I can’t find any info on if they actually went through with the upgrade program though annoyingly.
the chinese blog says desert warrior will deploy the missile laughters just like m3a3 do before fire the tow,do this correct or not
no i don’t think so as they work differently
