Now me personally - I would go crazy with options here, where we could have few different launchers (LAU-59, M158, M260, M261, M200) at least 3 different rocket engines (CRV7-C17, Mk66, Mk.40), few different warheads and two different fuses (point and proximity) and ability to play with launcher intervalometers...

 

But that's not what I want to write about. I wan't to ask about the HEAT warhead - is this the final choice to go with ?

 

Because the Mk.5 HEAT warhead was pretty dated in the 60's, its pretty much useless today. Will we get the newer dual purpose HE-HEAT M247 warhead ? That's a neat one-size-fits-all for DCS environment. Although to take out a modern MBT one would still have to hit the engine cover, because with only 11 inches of penetration, there's not much to work with. Still better than the Mk.5 though.
