Toy Soldiers: Cold War Anti-Tank guide
US Anti-Tank I (M72 LAW)
Description:
A portable solution to tanks, the M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon works effectively against individual targets lacking heavy armor.
Attributes:
Highly effective against vehicles.
Controls:
Aim – RS
Fire – RT
Shell Cam – RT (Hold)
How to best use it:
The Anti-Tank weapons are best used as a second line of defense. Unlike the rest of the weapon classes, these are best used with having both a level two and level three on the battlefield if space allows. Level two allows for direct, sniper-like precision aim with a five shell semi-auto fire, whereas the level three has a long range, single missile fire with a great Cam Shell that gives control over your shot.
US Anti-Tank II (M40 Recoilless Rifle)
Description:
The M40 Recoilless Rifle is equipped for taking out armored vehicles with direct fire. Its effectiveness against personnel should therefore not be a surprise.
Attributes:
Gains rapid fire at the expense of Shell Cam.
Controls:
Aim – RS
Fire – RT
Scope – LT
Tips:
This version of the Anti-Tank gun is very effective against small and medium sized vehicles. With a semi-auto fire, ATVs and the smaller style Humvees can be put down fast, with very little effort, even from great distances.
US Anti-Tank III (BGM-71 TOW)
Description:
The guidance system for the missiles of the BGM-71 TOW makes it difficult to explain missing a large, slow-moving target.
Attributes:
High damage and advanced shell Cam.
Controls:
Aim – RS
Fire – RT
Shell Cam – RT (Hold)
Tips:
A very effective, yet not so obvious use for the level three Anti-Tank gun is as an anti-air weapon. Once shot holding the left trigger enters Shell Cam. You can then hunt down helicopters or jets and drop them from the air with just one missile. Just remember that the AI will not do this for you, you must be in control of the weapon in order to use it as anti-air.
