The AT-4 Spigot is a 120 mm missile launcher used exclusively by Soviet military forces in ArmA: Cold War Assault.
Overview[]
The AT-4 Spigot (GRAU index: 9K111 Fagot) is an unguided, portable and reloadable anti-tank missile launcher.
It can only load 120 mm missiles fitted with high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads and has a maximum effective range of approximately 600-700 metres.
Like its American counterpart, the AT-4 served as the standard-issue heavy anti-tank weapon used by the Soviet Armed Forces at the height of the Cold War. Performance-wise, it is nearly identical to the Carl Gustav in almost every way, with both being powerful enough to destroy any non-heavy tank vehicle in just one hit. Even a heavy tank like the M1A1 can be disabled with a direct impact to the front or side of the hull.
However, the AT-4 also shares the same drawbacks with its American counterpart due to the size of its missiles. Just like the Carl Gustav, an AT-4 user is always restricted to carrying just one missile at a time since each missile occupies six inventory slots at once.[CfgWp 3]
This basically makes the AT-4 a single shot-only weapon unless they manage to resupply somehow or have other members of the squad assist in carrying spare missiles. However, this in turn puts a strain on the total ammunition supply for the entire squad, as each missile brought along means six less magazines for each member's primary weapon.
Regardless, if employed in a defensive position with a readily available stockpile of missiles nearby, the AT-4 becomes an extremely deadly threat to every ground vehicle. A small group of AT-4 operators defending a position will be almost impossible to break through for armoured ground vehicles without suffering severe losses in return.

Munitions[]

AT4 Missile
The AT-4 can only load one type of missile.[CfgWp 4] Each missile occupies up to six[CfgWp 3] inventory slots:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Base damage value | 800[CfgAm 1] |
Splash damage value | 200[CfgAm 2] |
Blast radius (metres) | 2.5[CfgAm 3] |
Launch velocity (m/s) | 30[CfgWp 5] |
Maximum speed (m/s) | 200[CfgAm 4] |
Missiles are always launched with an initial velocity of 30 m/s.[CfgWp 5] It will take at least 1.5 seconds[CfgAm 5] of flight time for the missile to attain a top speed of 200 m/s.[CfgAm 4] The missile's warhead has a blast radius of 2.5 metres.[CfgAm 3]
Trivia[]
- Cold War Assault's AT-4 is based on the real-world "9K111 Fagot" ATGM launcher that was first designed in the early 1970s.
- However, like many of the in-game Soviet weapons and vehicles, the in-game AT-4 is incorrectly referred to by its NATO reporting name as opposed to its actual GRAU index code of 9K111.[1]
- The in-game AT-4 also possesses several unrealistic capabilities compared to its real-world counterpart. A prime example of this is it being depicted as a shoulder-launched weapon; the 9K111 in reality is designed to be fired from a static tripod only, as it is a line-of-sight, wire guided weapon that requires the operator to maintain aim on the target at all times.[1][2]
- Other unrealistic design choices include it using the same optical scope as the American Carl Gustav M2 and being virtually identical stat-wise in every way. The 9K111 in reality would be significantly more powerful than the Carl Gustav as it uses a 120 mm anti-tank guided missile as opposed to the Carl Gustav's 84 mm rocket.[1][2]
- Prior to Patch 1.10 for Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (the original name of Cold War Assault prior to its re-release), a bug would cause the player's view to spin around if they were carrying an empty AT-4 on their back.[3]
