Description
- Available at start after building a Tank Supplystation.
- Can engage vehicles, buildings, infantry and -if close enough- helicopters and low flying jets.
- Not as effective against other targets as it is against armour.
- Has a long range but a low view sight.
- Takes a great deal of time to reload after firing its Sabot shells.
Usage
- It can take out most tanks with two or more shots.
- Should be used to support infantry and weaker vehicles.
- They can shoot at infantry, but that doesn't mean you should use them solely for that purpose.
- They are vulnerable to Anti-Tank missiles, so keep them behind your infantry.
- Use them in front of the T-80BV as bait.
Against Infantry
Reasonable damage.
Against Tanks
Anti-Tank shells deal great damage to most MBTs, but they are not as effective against the more heavily armoured tanks like T-80BVs and M1A1s as versus M60 Patton or T72.
Against Buildings
Good damage, but due to its slow rate of fire it should not be used solely for that purpose.
How to defend against
- Anti-Tank missiles can take out with one or two hits.
- Anti-Tank Soldier is good for the job, but use them in pairs to disallow the tank to fire back.
- Anti-Tank vehicles like the Humvee TOW and BRDM-2 AT-5 Spandrel can make short work of them, but they are vulnerable if faced directly with the T-64s, so fire at them from afar.
- Base defenses and garrisoned structures are a good defense against T-64s.
- Any helicopter or CAS plane can take it out, as is does not have an AA gun.
