It has a little amount of armour on other sides and there are fewer points where the Striker can get shot without consequences. Much like the Swingfire, Striker is a box with sloped front, however, it has a smaller profile than the Swingfire and has more armour on the front. Nevertheless, its guidance camera placement is far from ideal - it creates aiming problems when firing and controlling the ATGMs over uneven ground or from behind cover, requiring user to directly aim with the scope to make corrections, which involves also exposing the vehicle to the enemy kinetic shells - unlike with the Swingfire's raised camera podium.ĭue to this main disadvantage, it takes a lot more dedication and patience from its users to command the vehicle expertly. Striker has a much better fire rate and a bigger room for error compared to its predecessor, due to having five launchers at once, thermal imaging and great mobility, so its push-preventing powers can be godlike in skilled hands. Just like the Swingfire, the Striker's purpose is to blast the enemy out of cover by firing at them indirectly whenever possible, but it has some trouble at attacking long-range, as BAe Swingfire missiles are slower than the rest. The Striker is basically a direct upgrade to the Swingfire and is better than its predecessor in some ways, even though it has its own problems.

It was introduced in Update 1.71 'New E.R.A.'. The FV102 Striker is a rank V British tank destroyer
