Pros and cons
The 9M14 as an early Cold War ATGM is quite adept at taking out almost any vehicle at its battle rating. While the MCLOS guidance system has its quirks; in the right hands it is unstoppable. The main advantage over SACLOS missiles is that one could easily guide the missile over the crest of a hill and destroy enemies who otherwise might go unharmed. The main disadvantage is that you must both guide the missile using the default [Alt + WASD] keys while using the mouse to move the gunsight to follow moving targets.
Pros:
- Good armor penetration
- Ability to take out targets behind hills
Cons:
- Guidance takes time to learn
- Hard to hit fast moving targets
- Must maintain sight picture while guiding missile to target

Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
