LOSAT HMMWV w Extra ATGMs

In 1988, The army initiated the LOSAT (Line Of Sight Anti-Tank) program. The program was scaled down and then canceled by the Department of Defense in 1992 and 1996 respectively, but the Army had managed to restart the program, which Lockheed Martin was then awarded the contract the produce the MGM-166 LOSAT. Lockheed Martin fitted the MGM-166A onto the HMMWV chassis, which was designated as the M1114 LOSAT carrier. Due to the compact carrier, the M1114 LOSAT carrier could easily and rapidly be transported by air, with up to 10 being fit on a C-5. Testing was successful, and the Army ordered a LRIP batch of both MGM-166 missiles and M1114 carriers to be made, but they canceled the program in the summer of 2004.

I figured since we already have the CCVL LOSAT carrier, we can have it’s smaller, goofier, cousin, the LOSAT carrier M1114.

At least the CCVL LOSAT has a turret. With this you would need to adjust the entire chassis. Not reliable and worthless as a non-Tech tree vehicle.

3

He looks like a normal Hummi but he hides something dangerous :) and also that won’t be anything new there are tanks like that already so just go hush yourself.

4

i would love to see this, might even research the USA ground trees higher ranks if they get more silly niche vehicles

5

wrong section needs to be put into suggestions

6

Tell me you’ve never driven a car without telling me you’ve never driven a car

7

Yeah I can re adjust a 05’ suburban with 1.5ft between me a truck and a wall and get out with a 4 point turn.

8

Cars are easier to use then a tank

9

unless you need to turn on a dime

10

Thats the only time it’s worse.

11

they have no N turning

12

Tbf It fire ATGM (so gunner can correct missiles path) and meant to be use from long range. But yeah Gaijin tend to put small map in this game…

13

make a suggestion for it in the suggestion channel

14

Man this would be so cool to have in game as tech tree vehicle

The LOSAT gunner had a FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared)/TV sensor to find and designate targets, and LOSAT 's fire control system (FCS) could acquire, track and engage two targets simultaneously. After launch, the MGM-166A rapidly accelerated to 1500 m/s (5000 fps) and reached maximum range in less than 5 seconds. It was inertially guided along its flight path, with targeting updates provided by the FCS as necessary. The KEM had no explosive warhead and destroyed the target’s armour only with its kinetic energy. LOSAT was designed as a very quick reaction system, and a whole acquisition/lock-on/fire sequence could be completed within a few seconds.(yes I did copy and paste )
