this is probably a good question for all the M2 guros out there. i'm building the academy M2A2 OIF version, and i want to make it with the TOW in mid launch. my question is which TOW is fired first? can the gunner select this option or not? i would think he had control of this becasue what if you loaded two different missles in there? a TOW 2A and an ITOW. and if he can't pick which TOW is fired first because the fire system does, which one fires first? the one closest to the turret or the one farther away? thanks guys

yes the gunner does have an option of which missle he wants to fire first. He has a Missle1 and a Missle 2 button he can select. Also the system tells him is he has a TOW 2 type missle in the launcher.

Rooster,
Just to add to Richards explination, It's called the TOW Control Box, it is located to the right of the gunners triggers and under the ISU (Integrated Sight Unit). It has a toggle switch to choose the launcher up or down and push buttons to choose TOW system, TOW test, and for the two missile tubes. It also has diagnostic lamps to show system malfunctions or status.

thanks guys. exactly what i was looking for. happy easter to all
