Tactics
The AT Messenger is similar to the Raven Anti-Tank - the missile launcher holds four missiles, and can be used against all types of armor. However, the player should avoid engaging heavy vehicles such as the Iron Mountain Heavy Tank because as with the Raven AT, the Messenger AT lacks sufficient armor to 'safely' engage main battle tanks and other heavily armed vehicles. It is much wiser to use this vehicle to engage other wheeled vehicles and armored personnel carriers.

The Anti-Tank Messenger, being equiped with only a anti-armor weapon, is not suited for engaging enemy infanty or helicopters. Avoid anti-tank infantry and helicopters when using this vehicle.

Real life
The Messenger AT is a Humvee equipped with a TOW Anti-Tank missile launcher.
