9M133 Kornet

The 9M133 Kornet is a stationary anti-tank missile launcher that is featured in Battlefield: Bad Company and Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In Battlefield: Bad Company's singleplayer, it can occasionally be spotted in triggered events of the presence enemy armored vehicles, when the player must defend his own vehicles (in which case it is used by enemies) or when destruction must be used.

In multiplayer, almost all AT positions are mounted with Kornets, only a few have BGM-71 TOWs. It is normally placed in defensive, strategic positions in Rush and Conquest. They can destroy Light/Medium Land vehicles (Splash damage from the missile can also destroy Light Vehicles) and Boats with a single missile, but MBTs and APCs/IFVs will need 2 direct hits to their frontal armor or turret, but a direct hit on the side or rear armor will instantly destroy the vehicle. The Kornet's missile slightly deviates when near an enemy tank. Also, the missiles launched from the 9M133 are guided, so players can maneuver it toward a target rather than having to take aim at it.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The 9M133 Kornet is seen in multiplayer on most maps where Russians are defending (Arica Harbor, Isla Inocentes, etc.), being replaced by the American BGM-71 TOW on other maps. The Kornet follows the target the user is pointing at until the missile impacts, and the user is given a moderate zoom capability with the L1, or Left trigger. The Kornet is particularly useful over long ranges and for destroying helicopters because the missile can be guided, and has no drop like shoulder fired launchers. The missiles do relatively little damage to players and most damage is directed in front of where the missile impacts, thus it is advisable to land the missile in front of enemies rather than risking hitting behind them.

With the Alternate Weapon vehicle specialization, the 9M133 Kornet can be seen mounted on BMD-3 Bahkchas.
