Wire-Guided Speed Racer!

What an awesome round in the TOW HMMWV!

TOW - Tube Launched, Optically Tracked, Wire Guided. Anti-Tank missiles from Skud, with love!
HMMWV - High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle - the preferred wheels of anyone looking to get extreme.

Squad Leader/Driver: |TG-6th|Skud
Engineer/2E1X3: [TF21]CoronadoSEAL
TOW Gunner: |TG-6th|AFSoccer

It's not often that I keep a TOW alive throughout the entire round, and even more so (According to SEAL's count + my fuzzy count) get 10 Vehicles, 5 of which being tanks... Some highlights...

6 roadkills for Skud! 2 of which were done while driving the HMMWV over the boxes out front of Government Office, making for an awfully bumpy ride!

The 2 close encounters with enemy armor south of Government Office in the alley-ways. Interesting games of cat and mouse, awesome fire control by AFSoccer!

Outrunning an enemy LAT tracking us

Frantic mentionings of "MINE MINE MINE!"

Regretfully, AFSoccer died in an encounter with an APC south of Government Office once. SEAL and I were able to get away, unscathed. Soccer died again due to an enemy sniper breaking the rules and engaging our main. I fell to the same fate. *Hmph*

So in total there was only 1 actual combat loss in our squad!

AFSoccer did an awesome job on the TOW, very patient. Only missed 1 shot, due to me having to back us up as a tank shell just barely missed us.

SEAL was an invaluable communications officer during the entirety of the round, keeping the team and myself updated on enemy Armor movements. (Hence the title of 2E1X3 [Soccer, I told you there was a proper title for it other than FAC!]) SEAL also spotted C4 on our CO post when we were rearming, able to drive it away safely from the blast radius. Good eyes for sure.

It was fun to use just one vehicle for the entire round, without being blown to pieces. It's also very encouraging for the team as a whole.

Great work guys, was a pleasure. Sorry if my driving (Avoiding fire) made you car sick

End of the round outside of Chinese Main:

End of the round scoreboard (Soccer actually got 14 kills, 1 was a late tank that didn't pop up on scoreboard in time):

My, very impressive Skud!

I'm glad to see more people stepping up to take the TOW role on Qwai, those things are a major advantage to the US Team if used right. I've had similar rounds manning the TOW Humvees, and I'd like to have you squad up with me next time Qwai comes around

Its a pretty potent weapon now if used well, I miss being able to kill the tow with the chinese heli
