"Small anti-tank missiles with advanced optics, 'fire and forget', and smart self-targeting technology. Can be fired without line of sight to the designated target point, and will acquire hostile targets automatically." -- In-Game Description[]
The AGM-145 Ballista is a small optically-guided anti tank Air-to-Ground Missile available to the F-45A and the AH-94. These missiles use an onboard optical guidance system instead of laser designation, thus making it a fire-and-forget missile. It also has Lock On After Launch (LOAL) functionality, which allows it to be fired without line of sight to a target. This combination of features allows the deploying aircraft to designate targets from afar and fire at them from behind cover, allowing it to employ stealth tactics to hit targets from behind hills or other coverage.
