The LAHAT is an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) featured in Squad.
General information[]
The LAHAT (Laser Homing Anti-Tank, which also means incandescence in Hebrew) is a semi-active laser-homing anti-tank guided missile developed by Israel Aerospace Industries in 1991. It was designed primarily to be fired by Merkava tanks' 105 mm and 120 mm tank guns. It is also fitted on the M60T tank by Turkish Land Forces. In-game, the missile guidance system is beam-riding.

Variants[]
- LAHAT is mounted on one vehicle in the game.
- It is the gun-launched ATGM for the M60T main battle tank for the Turkish Land Forces and the Western Private Military Contractors.
Gameplay[]
- The LAHAT is a laser beam-riding anti-tank missile.
- Minimum arming range for the 9M119M Refleks is 45 meters.
- If you are too close to your target, the rocket will not detonate or deal any damage.
- The vehicle-mounted 9M119M Refleks variant can have three missiles before needing to rearm.
- The maximum effective range for the LAHAT is 1750 meters, slightly longer than other missile emplacements; beyond this range, the missile will stop guidance and drop to the ground.
- When shooting at targets beyond the rocket engine range, the operator can aim quite a bit above the target so the Kornet will go ballistic after the engine burnout and still hit the target.
- LAHAT is a beam-riding, semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) ATGM, which utilizes optical gunsight to designate targets and transmit an encoded laser beam that directs the trajectory. When leaving the launcher, the missile will fly in a circular motion and gradually stabilize itself onto the concentrating laser beam, indicated by the shrinking red circle (beam FOV radius).
- Beam-riding ATGMs have a harder time hitting moving targets than wire-guided missiles because swaying the optical sight aggressively will cause the missile to lose the transmitting beam.
- Beam-riding ATGMs are more accurate at longer ranges.
- Terrain and obstacles can occlude the beam, which leads to the missile losing the signal. Beam-riding ATGMs can fire on the move.
- Firing multiple missiles in a quick session, making them airborne simultaneously, will cause the previous few missiles to lose track and fly aimlessly.
- SACLOS guidance is vulnerable to disruptions caused by IR Smoke Countermeasures, regardless of the missile being Wire-Guided and Beam-Riding.
- Hitting moving targets such as helicopters is difficult but not impossible. Remember that whilst you can move the reticle very quickly, the missile requires time to "catch-up" with whatever you are aiming at. The beam-riding missile must stay within the laser beam when adjusting the target, requiring the operator to use fine movements.
- If the missile loses track, try to move back the reticle to "reacquire" the missile. Make sure to lead your targets.
- Armour calculation involves many factors that are not limited to simple base damage and penetration. The slope of the armor, its thickness, the angle of hit, all of that matter when the game engine decides if damage has been dealt to the target. Examine the vehicle armor models on Jensen's Range to learn where your shots will do damage.
- Prioritizing areas such as flat armor angles, turret, tracks, engine compartments, ammo racks, and rear areas where you could disable enemy mobility and effectively penetrate through armor and deal damage.
- LAHAT is identical to 9M119M Refleks and APS201 in their damage, penetration, and overall ballistic performance.
- LAHAT also shares its damage, penetration, and overall ballistic performance with 9M119M Refleks, APS201, 9M117 Bastion.
