I think this could be an interesting one.  It's this part that it would all depend on, though:

 

"the vehicles was carrying basically 4 missile and up to 10 passenger. but without the passenger, the vehicles could carry a lot more missiles"

 

Is that you hazarding a guess that that's what they could do or was it something that they did do?

Well, the vehicle has no storage prepared for more then 4 missles...so the "carry more missiles" is purely theoretical.

Also I'd like to see how to cramp in 10 people in the "passenger" area of the MILAN TPz

Yeah so that's problematic for me.  Lots of IFVs could fit more ATGMs in the back if they crew had been happy to strap them into the seats but that's not really how the game works.  So a large, lightly armed target with only 4 ATGMs and no other armament would be a very limited vehicle.  Pity, as it looks cool.

This might be a good AGTM.  It'll hinge on the exact ammunition count for the missile launcher for me.

Just so you’re aware, it uses the MILAN 2 as well, also known as the MILAN F2.
