The M150 is a modified [[M113 Armored Personnel Carrier|M113]] set up to fire the the American TOW or I-TOW missile systems. ==Canadian Variant== [[File:M150 Canuck.jpg|300px|left|thumb|The Stats]] This is the only Canadian TOW platform, use it wisely. AP 21 is nothing to scoff at, and when backed up by an [[ADATS]] or two, big scary tanks shouldn't be much of a threat to your efforts. Be aware that it is open-topped and comes with thermal imaging but lacks a 'hammerhead' equivalent rule: this thing will probably die after it fires. You get 2 TOWs for 3 points or 3 TOWs for 4 points, rather miserable. BUT, this is your cheapest option for popping heavy tanks so you may consider it if an ADATS platoon is too expensive. {{clear}} ==Israeli Variant== [[File:M113TOWIS.jpg|300px|left|thumb|]] For 3 points a mechanized infantry platoon can use 2 M150s. They do not have the hammerhead rule of their American counterparts. The Israeli M150 suffers from the comparison with the [[Pereh|Pereh]]. These are 2 points more expensive but their NLOS rule and their superior range make them an often preferred choice. Nevertheless, they are one of the few anti-tank equipment in the Israeli arsenal. It may be useful to include M150s if a strong armoured opposition is expected. Like their Canadian counterparts, M150 are still the most economical Israeli option for dealing with armoured vehicles. {{clear}} ==Iranian Variant== [[File:M150 Iran.png|300px|left|thumb|Iran]] More armored metal boxes for your Iranians, but with TOWs. {{clear}} ==IRL== The M150 was the predecessor to the M901 ITV (hence why it's called the "Improved TOW Vehicle") back before the US really bought into the concept of missile carriers. The idea was to simply provide more mobility to dismounted TOW teams rather than have a dedicated missile-armed tank destroyer, which were believed to be too noisy and conspicuous on the battlefield. After the Yom Kippur war when mounted ATGM vehicles and dismounted ATGM teams worked in coordination to devastate Israeli tank companies, the US changed its tune and quickly replaced their M150s with M901s. {{Canadian Forces in Team Yankee}} {{Israeli Forces in Team Yankee}} {{Iranian Forces in Team Yankee}} [[Category:Team Yankee]] [[Category:Vehicles]]
