This has everything the normal BT-5 has, Which is already one of if not the best reserve tier tanks, But it gets 2x 250kg rockets, These have a large enough blast radius to kill open vehicles over an entire objective, Can be fired across the map and indirectly nail people leaving spawn, And reload somewhat fast on objectives, These rockets can kill any tank in the game on hit and anything light on a near miss.
While the rockets have a dead-zone where you cant aim down, You can get around this by backing into walls to tilt the tank down which lets you fire them level.
To give an idea of just how powerful the rockets are, I exclusively use it as 5.7+, Mostly at 6.3 and have over a 1.8 KD in it along with a few nukes.
^ The RBT at only 3% of its power ^
Now imagine that at its current BR of 1.3 and what it could do there.
On maps with a linear objective layout its super broken, You can just sit on the objective on your teams side and endlessly bombard the enemy spawn making it impossible for light vehicles/AA’s to leave without dying.
As much fun it is to farm god modes off of 6.7’s its way too strong to be allowed to nuke reserve tier tanks.
If any tank was blessed with Russian bias, Its this one.
I don´t like the new nerf on the Falcon and Amx 30 DCA. If the vehicle was carrying the ammunition, it seems unfair to take it away. A change of BR is preferable.
Vehicle: IPM1 Gamemode: GRB Position change: Folder after M1 Reason: With it being a direct upgrade to the M1, it should be placed after it, and due to not getting a more powerful gun, nor should it get full research cost, also currently being foldered after a vehicle with a higher be than it is silly.
Also what’s the ability for it to sometiimes kill tanks have to do with anything? In that regard its weaker than most 9.X ATGM vehicles. if that is the performance metric that matters, move the ADATS down to 9.3
Vehicle change: remove APDS belt with no BR change
Reason
Anti airs do not need apds. They are supposed to target planes and they have plenty of penetration with the AP belts. Fighting tanks should not be their primary role.
