One of the few French vehicles that actually has a true AT weapon. 

You'll undoubtedly have brought your fair share of French Milans (and probably a smattering of APILASs), which can kill most tanks well, some of the newer stuff won’t bat an eye at getting hit by a Milan(read: anything with frontal armour 19). This is where that AT23 comes in ''very'' handy. See below.

Mephistos have the obvious advantage of speed over infantry Milans, allowing for quick repositioning to adapt to unexpected enemy tank formations, but have a poor cross rating of 5+ so position them by walls and hills, not forests if it can be helped. Scout is a nice rule to have giving you Hit on 6+ at all times whether you move or not, if you position them for concealment correctly.

Bonjour T-80. 

The T-80 and the latest generation of MBT with composite/ERA front armour 20 Have given the Mephisto an important role. Combined with your Milans and AMX30 you should be able to keep those tanks humble. The French can take 2 platoons of Mephisto as support and 8x AT23 with Hammerhead for 16 points is nothing to sneeze at. Factor in some mirage cluster bombs, gazelle HOT and some APILAS you are one of the best equipped NATO army to deal with T80 and co. (Aside from maybe Hummvee TOW2 spam). Your chance of destroying a T80’s FA20 is low, but when their return fire hits on 6s and each VAB is just 2 points, a single dead T80 pays for the platoons cost.

The Mephisto a situational unit. Poorly optimised vs BMPs or t55 spam, your list needs some AMX30, 10RC or Milans while the Mephisto hunts the high value targets like Merkava, M1A1, Challenger, T80, Leo2a5. Ironically, most of these are fielded by nations allied to France.
