#Make infantry Mistral teams use a tripod like the Javelin LML

France and Spain do not have alternatives so theirs can enter buildings. LML has the Javelin as an alternative so it cannot.
France can make their 20mm towed AAA enter buildings again, then that could be the designated French building AA.
Taking the Spanish as a role model.
Spanish don't have any manpads. France does.
Belgium also depends on the mistral and does not have a taag that should be allowed in buildings.
or allow javelin LML hiding in building
TOW's, Mistral's, JAV-LML and other oversized mounts should be able to enter buildings, but only get light cover/concealment from them due to them needing special positioning IMHO.
LML lost the ability to go in buildings because of the 3 salvo. It made Javelin irrelevant.
And now LML is irrelevant. Funny how that works
Maybe they should Just let AA get into building again and nerf it hard or smth
Well it would obviously cost more if it could.
everything but LML can
even 20mm
No. Only the 20mm Gai Boi in spains INF tab can do that.
LML is your Brit AAG analogue, because Brits were too stupid to buy a spaag. 3 missiles means you have a better than average chance of actually killing what you shoot at, unlike Javelin
Rather interesting that the single mount gai boi has two types, weapon team and AA
Edit:: wasn't marksman ootl
Brits were going to buy Cheetah, in 1978 but decided to save money.

Yup. lets try again waste more money, and make the requirements so obscure literally no one can meet them.
You're really saying that we could have UK gepard, and they didn't grab it to save money?? You don't hate MOD bureaucrats enough
Yup. They made the requirements so strict that Cheetah was the only spaag to meet them. And then didn't buy it anyway.
Yeah, should’ve been one or the other. Confusing what we have now, but it is what it is.
To be fair the other one is welded to a truck
I just ignore the UK as much as possible. That path leads only to pain.
"why does [branch of MoD] have no mission capabilities in the specified areas???" "I don't know sir, but did you remember to cancel that South African SPAAG buy?"
"Ooh good shout, Kentley."
We will get nations sooner or later that depend on tripod Manpads. Might as well allow them back into buildings and make mistral a tripod.
Only in combination, however.
Hopefully this means stuff like the fasta 4 benefits too
