Agent Smith sent us his M113 IFV armed with Hellfire Longbow launcher! Here is a part of the readme.txt:
It has no cargo capacity and it's primarily an anti-armour weapon. It carries 8 missiles in the launch tubes and other 8 in magazine. Be advised that it takes nearly a minute to completly reload the launcher.
I've made the rocket much stronger than the one suplied with BIS' Apache, because that's how it's in the real world: one hit=one destroyed tank. NOT two or three hits.
Note that, altough powerfully armed, armor of M113 still remains very weak and that's why M113+HL is not meant for direct fire fight. It's main role is supporting infantry squads with precise long range AT fire.
