The BGM-300 Tiger ATGM is a mobile, if not effective anti-armor missile. Designed for heavier vehicles, the BGM-300 features a tandem warhead, dual seeking missile with top attack capability. It is fired from a tripod launcher that mounts the launcher assembly, and the sensor system. The launcher assembly has a rear port for inserting the missiles in the rear. Each missile is sealed inside a combined transport/launcher tube. This allows rapid field reloading in the field. The missile itself has a smokeless launcher, and can be fired from indoor spaces, only needing a 1m area to fire. The missile can home both on laser and radar designators. It has a tandem warhead, and a special ability to fired "top down" with a venting system inclined at a 30 degree angle to allow effective engagement of the target. The missile itself has a range of only 7 kilometers, and has thrust vectoring for high engagement potential. It is also a fire and forget missile, which is only available in the radar designation mode. Mounted in the nose cone is a millimeter-wave radar, and when launched, the radar provides terminal homing for the missile. It also provides homing for the laser guided mode as well. The firer simply has to cue the missile to the target, launch the missile, and then reload and aim at another target. And the sensor system mounts both, with a thermographic sight with a non-glare coating to prevent the sunlight from causing glare, allowing the firer to be found. Below the sensor housing are two hand rests, with the right one having the firing trigger. This is designed to put less wear on the soldier, who will hit better when more relaxed. The system can be broken down into three parts, the launcher assembly, and the tripod. All have specialized carrying gear that comes with the launcher, allowing it to be man-packable. It can also be mounted on a standard pintle mount through the use of an adapter assemply in the bottom of the tripod housing. The tripod legs can be removed, and fired from a pintle mount.

*Use L-ATGM ranges, but extend range to 7 kilometers.
**The missile does armor-piercing damage. For targets with Ablative Armor, damage is 20D. For targets without it, use the damage code listed. Damage reduction is -5/meter.
***15 kilograms for the launcher assembly and tripod, which respectively broken down is 10 kilograms for the launcher, and 5 kilograms for the sensor system. The sensor system has an effective Image Magnification-3 installed, as well as Thermographic, a laser designator, and a microwave designator. The cost is 30,000¥ for the launcher assembly with sensors, and 10,000¥ for each missile in the sealed tube.
