Description

The Titan AP Missile is effective against infantry, but not against armour, yet it is labelled as "Armour Piercing".

In my test, it had a lethal radius of approximately 20 meters against infantry, but six missiles which hit the same Panther failed to injure the crew, and disabled only the vehicle's gun (compare with the Titan AT Missile, which required almost point-blank hits to kill infantry, but took out the Panther in two shots).

Was "AP" supposed to stand for "Anti-personnel", not "Armour Piercing"?

Should be Anti-Personell, not AP. The AT round is already AP, strictly speaking a HEAT tandem warhead, most likely.

Having two AT missiles does not make sense.
