=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of missiles that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Decent penetration of 64mm

'''Cons:'''

* Slow compared to other AGMs such as the Bullpup (AGM-12)
* Extremely low explosive mass of only 15kg TNT equivalent, needs a direct hit even on light tanks and can struggle to destroy well armoured vehicles at all
* Manual guidance makes it difficult to hit targets precisely from a distance, especially from within an aircraft.
