I also think that the Titan is laser guided, so you can fire indirectly at hostiles behind cover.

the PCML dosent even do much to heavy armor tbh why is it called an at launcher when it cant even take out an ifrit it should be able to insta kill at least a mora but a mora takes about 3 pcml rockets so yeah

[Logic]

yes it can disable one but dam would you need a ton of pcml missiles to take one out

[FIVE WORLDS]

Pcmls travel faster then titans

[Logic]

so far all i found that it does was explode above a tank say if the tank was 200m away and you aim it up high but you still had a lock and fired it would explode above it but it does nothing dosent even take out the commander gun

[Logic]

dunno if its a bug that it explodes above the tank because it does nothing to it it like explodes 8m from the top of it

[Logic]

would like if it would have an ability to like go up like a javelin were you would fire it an it would go straight up than come down on the tank or maby it could explode before hitting a tank like a marshell causing it to destroy all of the wheels on the side of the marshall it hit

[Logic]

or maby it could be like a darger where you didint need a full lock to track the target

also, the PCML's purpose is to deal with bunkers or "soft" targets, irl, i think the titan costs too much to destroy "only" a jeep or a truck, the pcml is cheaper i think and made for this purpose.

The PCML is a light anti-tank and is used to destroy or disable MRAPs, APCs and trucks.
TITAN is a much heavier anti-tank weapon and will completely annihilate anything lighter than a main battle tank. MBTs usually require 1-2 hit with TITAN AT to disable and 2-3 to destroy.

There is also a variant of TITAN (the longer one) that shoots AA missiles and can be used to disable (but not destroy) helicopters and jets.

PCML can disable (knock the tracks off) heavier APCs like the CSAT Marid and presumably IFV's like the Mora. However I would advise not to try and instead use TITAN. Unfortunately TITAN AT have a tendency of completely destroying the Mora and Marid with a single missile. Don't even try to use the PCML against main battle tanks. They will just laugh at you and then proceed to ream your butt.

If you fire a PCML without locking on it tends to go up and then sink slowly following a ballistic arc. The TITAN AT when fired without a lock on will *ATTEMPT* to follow whatever you aim at. TITAN AT cannot lock onto a aircraft but you can manually guide it into one if you're skilled enough. This will usually knock it out of the air.

AT specialists carry TITAN while Rifleman (AT) carry the light AT.

Syndicake's right on all counts. +1 for someone getting it right.
Also, while not a concern in game except possible "realism" mods, the PCML is "soft-launch" capable, while the titans are not. So you could shoot a PCML in a building without killing yourself from the pressure.

backblast and overpressure is not simulated in the game...yet. If anyone is generally interested the PCML is based on the NLAW. I'm not sure what the TITAN is based on, it might be entirely fictional. Does anyone know?

I'm not entirely sure what the titan is based on, but I think to me it acts and kind of feels like it could be a futuristic version of the FGM-148 Javelin.

edit: after a quick google search I have found what the Titan is based on, it is based on the Mini-Spike Anti-Personal Guided Weapon. Here is a website/artical that talks about it and shows images of it: http://defense-update.com/photos/mini_spike.html
