Ground Defense + Armor Badges

Re: Ground Defense + Armor Badges

i find it odd how these wire guided missiles dont seem to fire a wire first??


surely you fire the wire, then the missile? Or something like that?

Re: Ground Defense + Armor Badges

Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but Fly-by-wire means the wire is attached to the missile on the back end allowing the person firing to control it's in-flight path.

It doesn't act as a zipline for the missile, but as a remote.

Yeah the wire tails the missle once it's fired, and guidance changes are transmitted through the wire.

in addition they usually only have horizontal alignment change meaning you point and shoot...then guide it left or right....at least thats how the older ones operated...

also you only had about 1000 ft before the wire...runs out and fly straight from there...

ive heard stories about tank commanders who can respond fast enough to a tow fired missle (they are very slow flying) will fire a cannon shot as fast as possible in the direction of the man operating to TOW essential disrupting the "guider" of the missle and saving his tank...cool story i though!

Re: Ground Defense + Armor Badges

I managed to get the Basic Ground Defense and Basic Armor Badges today. Now I am trying to get the Ground Defense Ribbon (3 minutes + 5 kills) and Distinguished Service Ribbon (all I need are the 15 team points; met all Global req.). I always try to get alot of team points, but I usually only end up with like 5 or 6 at most. What specific things should I do as part of a squad to rack up team points?

Thanks for the input all!

You can shoot the TOW missile itself right out of the air, & it explodes in midflight

SO KOOL

for your ground def ribbon if u want u can go commander sit in a TOW or MG and kill 5 people with arty...
15 teampoints....be a medic...capture lots of flags!

Re: Ground Defense + Armor Badges

You don't get points for killing people w/ arty. Mostly only if you or your team takes flags you start racking up points.

Re: Ground Defense + Armor Badges

Rub, the kills you get with arty do go towards your kit kills. That is how I got some of my Basic kit Badges. :)

"Fly by Wire" is usually referred to as the means of controlling an aircraft or say a missle in this case by eletronic signals (either analog or digital) rather than physical means referred to as mechanical or perhaps hydrolic. This reduces the overall weight of the device being controlled.

no sorry that now what i meant...i mean the tanker fires a reflex shot at the point where the rocket was shot from (assuming the tank is far enough away) this usually jolts the person guiding the TOW and as a result misses the tank....now the tank can fire a precise shot and take them out...

it was a pretty cool story

Re: Ground Defense + Armor Badges

Milan (an equivalent to TOW) takes 12.5 seconds to reach its max range (1950m) and makes a lot of smoke when it fires, so a tank would have a chance to kill the operator, which would make the missile crash.
I doubt if you could shoot the missile down as its doing allmost 200m a second and its quite small. I suppose if its coming at you it wouldnt hurt to have a go.
