Need one for the ROC tech tree.
They really gotta work on the consistency of TOW-2B’s. They very rarely work in my experience beyond damaging the roof mg and alerting the enemy to my very position. (however they used to and it was awesome)

+1 please please please give us this even if it’s like 11.0
No chance since we already have a wiesel 1a2 at 9.7
+1 but also add the m151a2 with an older version of the TOW at a lower BR than the Humvee

There are other suggestions for this and a couple other variants I think, as for its BR, it probably wouldn’t be too much lower than the HMMWV, if lower at all. TOW Wiesel is 9.7, keep that in mind.
M113 with the TOW are 8.3 in the game, and the CM-25 that has access to the top-attack TOW-2B is 8.7, so there is a small difference in the rating based on which TOW missiles it gets access to. I think this difference would transfer if we got both a HMMWV and the M151A2 with the TOW, but with newer missiles for the HMMWV, in a similar way. Plus, the HMMWV got basic armor to protect against MG fire, making it a bit more robust. Probably more crew members as well.

Size is a big thing to consider here though. The M113 is about 2 feet taller than the HMMWV, and the HMMWV is about 2 feet taller than the M151A2, not to mention the HMMWV and M151A2 are wheeled vehicles.
Just for reference, the Wiesel 1A2 is about 6 feet tall, which is about as tall as the HMMWV, which would mean the M151A2 would be an absolute rat. M1167 and Wiesel 1A2 fire the same missiles, except the M1167 has access to the TOW Bunker Buster.
I mentioned the M113 mainly to point out the difference in battle rating based solely on which TOW missiles it used. But yes, there are other differences that also play in, but those are harder to predict how they play out in the game. Being protected from a machine gun burst feels very advantageous, though, which is why I mentioned it as a useful feature. Debatable, perhaps, but we’ll see for certain if they add them in.
