I'll mentioned I considered dual-purpose missiles, like the ill-fated ADATS, but I couldn't decide a homing system and warhead good for both roles. > * Are a few medium-sized missiles useful at this TL?

How and where do you mount them? A chest mount is probably best. An alternative is firing up from the back, then making a sharp turn don and forward. > In pods on the shoulders.

I like HEAT, although by TL11 laminate and superconducting armor severely limit it.
