Light Anti Tank

The main role of the LAT is to disable vehicles. There are some guides out there on where to hit vehicles in order to engine them or track them with one shot. When paired with a friendly vehicle, rifleman or ammo crate where the LAT can rearm easily, killing an enemy vehicle is achievable. When the vehicle is disabled, it is important to call it out to the team so that a friendly vehicle, a HAT/other LAT, commander ability or mortar can finish the kill.

A secondary role of the LAT when there is no risk of enemy armor attacking the squad is to shoot rockets at enemy infantry who are hiding or in clusters. When there is an abundance of ammo, the LAT can “rocket spam” meaning shooting rockets and rearming over and over.

It is the responsibility of all squad mates to swap to the LAT kit if it is open and there is an enemy vehicle causing problems in the area. Anyone can do this, even the squad leader.

If you know the enemy has access to armor, it is highly advised to include AT in your squad. Your AT should usually be with your Flanking Element, and enemy armor will often need to be flanked before it can be effectively engaged with a rocket. If enemy armor is in the area, your anti-tank gunner is immediately the MVP and all measures should be taken to protect him and move him into position to intercept the enemy armor BEFORE it makes contact with your squad.
