0001288: M2A2ODS does not use TOW against T-72B3
M2A2ODS will not use TOW against T-72B3, and shoots with the cannon instead. The engagement distance was 11,000 meters. Over the frontal arc the 25mm cannot penetrate, so this is suicidal behavior. The Bradley also aims for the center of the glacis, so no rounds will hit the treads. Therefore the Bradley has no chance of even a mobility kill.

Expect behavior: All IFVs always use their ATGMs against all MBTs, before resorting to cannon.
Get IFV to shoot at MBT.
No tags attached.
