HJ-8

The HJ-8 (Chinese: Hongjian-8, English: Red Arrow-8) is a Chinese wire-guided anti-tank missile launcher designed and produced by Norinco for the People's Liberation Army. The HJ-8 is very similar to the American BGM-71 TOW and bears resemblance to the Russian 9K111 Fagot. Development of the system began in 1970 to replace the HJ-73 used before it, and the HJ-8 went into service in 1984.

The missile has a range of up to about 4,000m (4,375 yards) and can penetrate up to 800mm of armor, with a tandem charge used on some missiles that can penetrate up to 1000mm. The system can be used on a tripod by infantry or mounted on vehicles or helicopters. Despite being able to be carried by infantry, the weapon requires a team of two and cannot be carried very long distances to to the weight and bulk of the system.

Battlefield 2
In Battlefield 2, the HJ-8 is the stationary anti-tank launcher used by the People's Liberation Army and the Middle Eastern Coalition. It is in most regards, identical in performance to the USMC/EU BGM-71 TOW launcher, doing very high damage to armor and destroying light vehicles with a single missile. It can even be used to down helicopters, although the operator will have to lead their missile ahead of the helicopter to account for its movement.

Battlefield Play4Free
In Battlefield Play4free, the HJ-8 appears on the maps Karkand and Oman at most control points or strategic locations. The HJ-8 performs identically to the USMC BGM-71 TOW and is devastating against enemy armor, destroying tanks in two or three missiles, and jeeps in one or two. However, the operator is vulnerable to being sniped by a Recon player or run into by a vehicle from the side or behind, meaning the operator should keep a look out for any vehicles and head to cover if they hit by a sniper round.
