The Stargaard X84 Panzerschreck was a wire-guided anti-tank guided missile deployed by the Englean Kaiserreich during the Second Great War. The X84 was one of the world's first anti-tank guided missile, and was used by Englean forces during the Invasion of Damsmar as well as sparingly by Englean forces involved in the Ventismarian theatre. The X84 was used alongside the X56 air-to-air missile which was modified for usage on the ground. The X84 was guided by an operator whom used either a scope or their eyesight to guide the missile to its target. The X84 was noted for its inaccuracy due to this guidance system, and was obsolete by 1948. It was replaced in 1950 by the Stargaard LR-34.
