Tactical Information
(Updated for 1.001.100 patch)
- The Commando's laser-guided function requires manual guiding via crosshair. This function can be turned off via the weapon wheel to dumb-fire mode for short-to-medium range engagements and the missile will behave like an unguided EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank rocket.
- Compared to the similarly disposable EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank stratagem:
- The Commando deals 45% less damage per shot (1,100 vs. 2,000) but deals 11% more total damage per support weapon (4,400 vs. 4,000).
- The Commando has a roughly 71.42% longer cooldown (120s vs. 70s).
- The Commando's rockets have significantly slower velocity than other rockets.
- The FAF-14 Spear's ATGM has the same projectile velocity as the Commando's rockets.
- The Commando's rapid firing speed allows it to quickly respond to threats on the battlefield
- It is possible to easily destroy Automaton Fabricators from a distance with 2 shots from a Commando.
