==FV 438 Swingfire ==


'''In Team Yankee'''

The FV 438 is an ATGM carrier unique to the Chieftain squadron, and may not be brought more than once unless fielding several squadrons. For 2 points per piece in a 2 or 3 vehicle platoon, you get an AT23 missile which is guaranteed to destroy virtually all tanks in the game without a problem, with the possible exception of the M1IP Abrams. As with all other FV chassi, the 438 is equipped with a 7.62mm machine gun for engaging enemy infantry which get too close for comfort if you somehow allowed enemy forces into your backline. Unsurprisingly, the FV438 should be fielded as far back as possible, using its superior range to destroy enemy armour. Expect these things to die if touched by anything in the game.

The Swingfire is a poor choice unless playing in a tank-only meta, due to the cheapness of milans. For 6 points, you may either have 3 missiles or 6 slightly inferior ones. Even in a tank game, AT23 is overkill against all current tanks in the Pact arsenal, but can reliably destroy friendly NATO tanks from the front. Consider taking an additional Chieftain instead if you truly need all the anti-armour you can muster, or even a unit of Scorpions for scouting or engaging light vehicles and infantry.
