Oh yeah they work. Tbh I'd think you'd need some sort of TRPHY system to not make it a guaranteed kill when it hits. These are also way more valuable than the FSV drones as a lot of times they just disable and the crew has time to escape. Javelins are basically downward firing tank sabbots and when they hit, it melts everything inside. Depleting both material and trained personnel at the same time.
