Advanced Tactical Missile package (ATM8)
this limited ammunition option allows the APC to punch well above its weight class. it uses little power and requires little cooling, but the missiles are able to use shaped charges to pierce medium armor. all but the heaviest tanks, or tanks with specific safeguards in place are susceptible to these smart missiles.
The downsides are that range is relatively limited as missiles go, but this is still the "ranged" direct fire solution. Only 8 can be carried in the rack, though more may be brought along inside at the cost of crew space, and they must be manually reloaded. it also increases the visual profile of the APC considerably.
the missiles have the ability to use their volatile monopropellant as explosive load, as such they are much stronger at short ranges, but can travel further than the machine gun package and the laser package.
generally more useful for smash and grab type missions against buildings or bunkers than directly against mobile armor.
