@Tank2042ManI started using the AT missiles since yesterday after a wildcat wrecked my vehicle with them from a really long distance.
Not only they are accurate at long distance, they can oneshot small to medium helis (with soflam). They are actually the opposite in that they are inaccurate when used at really close range.
So right now I am running the wildcat with the 57mm + AT rockets. If the team uses the soflam, the enemy vehicles are in a real trouble.

Ok so I played solo and got my 600 kills to unlock the AT homing missiles. I didn't know they were homing missiles so I guess yet another beep beep to add to the beep beep nonsense.
In solo play they are fantastic and completely OP however when I tried using them online they are only good for self defence or catching other vehicles unaware.
Choppers and scouts will eat you up as soon as they find out where you are now that you no longer have your anti air lock on missiles equipped and tanks will use smoke and reverse out of danger even if you get lucky and hit them with both AT missiles before they pop smoke.
They will then regenerate health and peak out of cover and start targeting you at long range.
The Wildcat has slow reverse, nothing approaching the reverse speed of the tank and once you start taking damage you'll be lucky if the tanks, choppers and any enemy infantry in the vicinity paying attention, don't finish you off before you can escape to another part of the map.
Soflams are still rare in game so its not really a viable choice to choose the AT missiles to take on air.
The Wildcat is still best served playing far away from the action in a defensive role taking out choppers harassing your ground troops or at least forcing them to retreat. Offensive Wildcats will not last long before being blown up.
I'll be sticking with tanks who have great long range power, excellent speed in forward and reverse and much better handling than the Wildcat.
Anyway let me know how you get on with them.
