ACCP

Notes: ACCP (AntiChar Courte Portée, or portable antitank missile) is a short-range ATGM designed for urban warfare. The French-built weapon has little backblast and can be safely fired from enclosed spaces. The missile is inexpensive, light, and disposable if necessary. This missile fell victim to budget cuts and the lighter Eryx ATGM and never went beyond the prototype phase.

Twilight 2000 Notes: In a desperation measure, the French government authorized the production of the ACCP; it is partially credited with helping them maintain their borders.

Entac

Notes: This was one the first Western ATGMs, being introduced by France in the early 1960s. Today, it is used only in some Latin American and Southeast Asian countries, being locally produced in those countries or drawn from retired First World stocks. It is an old ATGM with limited effectiveness. Like many early ATGMs, the Entac is a rather slow missile.

Eryx

Notes: Eryx is another French-built ATGM designed for short-range urban warfare. It has very little backblast and a low launch velocity. NATO-standard thermal imagers or image intensifiers may be attached to the Eryx. Missile speed is 1225 meters per phase. The Eryx was first issued to French units in 1991; with orders shortly thereafter by Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, and Brazil; there are rumors of it also being used by Great Britain and the US in the recent fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Eryx was also used during the Twilight War by the Swiss and Austrians, as well as special operations units of the US, Great Britain, Mexico, Israel, and Jordan.

Merc 2000 Notes: Inexpensive and light, the Eryx is a popular missile worldwide, and it could turn up almost anywhere.

SS-11 Harpon

Notes: One of the world’s first ATGMs, the SS-11 is now an obsolete weapon, which is used only in smaller armies or in reserve stocks. It can be fired from helicopters (one per hardpoint, due to their size), from vehicle mounts, or ground box mounts. The SS-11 is a very difficult missile to use; the gunner must keep both the missile and target in his sights, and proper steering requires a light but steady touch on the joystick control, something that takes a lot of practice to do properly. The SS-11 is cheap, but it also huge and difficult to transport and reload.
