Belesarius reacted to Vicious_CB in Tanks guns and ammunition.
It seems all these fancy new programmable HE-MP marketing are implying they can replace HEAT against medium and light AFVs. Heres the IMI Hatzav being tested against the side of M-60 turret and against a G*vin. Im not sure if DM11 is being touted as having this capability as well, though I dont see why it shouldnt be able to do the same things as Hatzav and AMP.

Spike NLOS 5th gen, or Spike NLOS 2.
At 0:45 that's quite an interesting target...
And right after that they're showing a steep dive in anti-APS mode.

The FFG(X) selection is not limited to the 5 ships the USN awarded design contracts for, meaning BAE can offer the Type 26.

Belesarius got a reaction from Lord_James in The "Today in Military History." Thread.
On December 29, 1812, the frigate Constitution, commanded by William Bainbridge, captures HMS Java off Brazil. The defeat of Java, the second frigate lost to Constitution in six months, motivates a change in the tactics of the Royal Navy. No longer are their frigates to engage American frigates like Constitution alone. Only British ships-of-the-line or squadrons are permitted to come close enough to these ships to attack.

I don't know about you, but I love spending my Tuesday nights walking around in biblically adverse weather looking for minorities to commit hate crimes upon.
See, this is what you get when you don't hire American labor! Those hired thugs just rolled over and squealed on him in a heart beat. Good help is hard to find these days.

Precision vs area of effect.
MICLIC charges are basically 1-2 vehicle wide area off effect IIRC in a small area.
Thermobarics are a bit more... indiscriminate. They tend to be a pretty big boom.
