 | | The operator could displace up to 25m from the launcher, but due to the characteristics of MCLOS control (lots of left-right weaving are typical as controllers try to bring the missile on to the target), it was always better to displace as close as possible in a direct line from the launcher towards likely targets. |
 | | In this way the missile would overfly the controller, making the task of "gathering in" the missile and flying it onto the target easier. |
 | | Yes, I already know it took a more experienced operator to have a high probability of hitting with an MCLOS ATGM compared to a SACLOS one, and that the Soviets moved forward to SACLOS to get better hit ratios. |
