LOL...I never present my backside to a Dragon!

Besides, haven't you ever wondered why infantry are called "crunchies" by tankers?

Yeah, well I would be afraid of friendly fire too!

No I wouldn't want be an Infantryman assigned to anything closely resembling an Armor unit for said reasons. They have very limited field of vision, the again so do Dragoon gunner who are only looking through their sights. So yeah I can understand them not wanted to expose their back side to some rocket troop looking through an only noticing that they tanks are 'leaving' the engagement area...lol

Hrm.... The Dragon. You mean that missile that had a minimum range closer to its max than not, the one that had a "slight" problem with CATO issues, that would sometime fly right into the ground, and the one that when the russians copied it, significantly improved on it to the point that the pip was a copy of the russian redesign?

Now if you said TOW on the otherhand....

How many times do I have to say that I don't know those planes are perfectly good because they're Air Force planes?!

Yeah I know what you mean there is no such thing as perfect Air Force plane. They were piloted by the best pilots put through the best training known in the f'Free' world... So damn right I wanted to be qualified to deplane in hurry...lol

Now that is a very good point: at least with the sh!thook you know if its leaking its fine, when it stops it must be out of fluids.

(And by the way, don't ask the crew to see the leeks before you get on, they don't find it very funny. )

Might be a tad slow, but we always did outgun, outfight, and outdrink the rest of the regiments

The point being that I could pop your fancy Cav vehicle in the patoot... And the minimum range is only 60 meters. And grounding your missile is a rookie mistake.

And yes, I did botch my only combat shot with a Dragon, hitting the BMP-1 near one of the front roadwheels...
