You can guide the unguided!

In the 1980s, the U.S. Army experimented extensively with anti-tank weapons to replace the older and slower TOW ATGMs. One of the most notable prototypes of the time was the LOSAT missile system developed by Vought. In an effort to increase the missile's range and effectiveness, they proposed using tungsten rod instead of a HEAT warhead.

Such a system was the best of both worlds! It had high penetration, ignored ERA, and could be used effectively against moving targets, accelerating to near hypersonic speeds. The complex was successfully tested and several vehicles were built, but for financial reasons the program was cancelled in 2004.

You can try out the system in the game — it is presented on the LOSAT vehicle of the same name. Take it into battle, get to a position far away from the enemy, aim and fire! Take into account the limited aiming angles of the launcher and the fact that the rocket turns into a simple APFSDS once the fuel runs out.
