The Soviet RBT-5 rocket artillery tank is probably one of the dumbest tanks in War Thunder. I mean that in a good way. It's not only a lot of fun but also very meta since it is just a BT-5 with torpedos strapped to it. It's also surprisingly cheap for a rare event vehicle, only going for around 60 Gaijin coins.

Fun fact, when first introduced the rockets could depress to shoot at targets up close however people complained it was OP (understandable when you are shooting SturmTiger equivalent rockets at tanks with tinfoil armor played by Newbies), so they nerfed it to have +9 degrees of gun depression.

This is my favorite tank in the whole game. I have the most matches and kills with it. (Edit): 2:30 The minimum range on level ground is exactly 252 meters. If you fire the rockets forward without adjusting the rangefinder, they will land 250m ahead.

Wow, it really has similar tnt equivalent to the Sturmtiger (130kg compared to 135kg for the Sturmtiger). Didn't think these tank torpedos were THAT big. Also please play the Foch
19 kills in one life is crazy. I remember the best match I ever had in pure kills was over 20, I think it was 22 but it also took 3 or 4 deaths. I did land an amazingly sweet IL-2 rocket as well, but most of the kills came from a T-50 so it was also low tier and Russian. But the worst part was my team still managed to lose lol. The game just favors APHE so stupidly in my opinion but the 45mm gun is definitely one of the best at low tier. It makes even really mediocre tanks like the T-26 viable.

Honestly I find the Vickers Mk. E perfectly acceptable as well with its 37mm Bofors, but then again I am used to dealing with silly cannons and I play the whole 6-ton lineup far too much in the first place. I don’t get why people say it’s a mediocre tank though.

@@NaturalGarethFan Is that the Finnish tank? The one the Russians copied to make the T-26? Because I too think that's a better tank than the T-26 but it's adequate. It doesn't do anything especially well but it does enough to be viable. The T-26 at least has the benefit of the game's ridiculous modeling of APHE. And just to clarify, I know the Vickers 6 ton was a British export tank, not a Finnish tank. I just meant in the game it only shows up in the Finnish subtree.

Launched one, hit the building three stories above him, and the splash damage alone killed him. And that was not adjusting the range.

In the olden days when White Rock was still in common rotation, using this on the earthen embankments around the fortress to kill 6.7+ you were a terror to king tigers.
My only complaint with this vehicle is how long the rockets take to reload (but that also goes for rockets in general tbh)
I used to have the respawning vehicles/trees/debris quite often. Many games where I was using HE it'd even respawn before I reloaded, making certain shots completely impossible unless I could take it down with my MG (if I had one). That's one of many bugs Gaijin refuses to address and one of the reasons I don't play anymore.
you should do a colab vid with a few other dudes all with RBT-5s and just go to a captured point and spam rockets at a decided target at the rate you replenish them, you'd shoot a rocket every 4s absolute mayhem
Your videos gives me some joy after hard day of grinding, tysm

You should play the British tier 2 Sarc MKVI 6Pdr. It is very fast ( I call it the Super Awesome Race Car ). It has the British 6 pounder and is very good for 3.3. It goes by no armor best armor and if you get shot in the turret you die no matter what ( 3 crew, 2 in turret). It’s got a .50 cal on top for AA and shredding milk trucks. It’s funny because it recoils a ton, and no matter what will land on its wheels probably to counter the recoil. I also think that the crusader II is fun. It’s I think 2.0ish and is super fast, good fun and I believe ( in a British tank) APHE. it is great for capping points, running along the sides and flanking the enemy.

spookston definitely has a killer gaming char
Omg I love watching you when you are havng fun. It's great
You should try the tiger1 only using the PZGR shell.
Suggestion: since neither you or Oddbawz change tanks (i.e. die) in matches a lot so you don't normally take out lineups, I was thinking you two could team up for an ultimate GErmoney cancer lineup, Leo 1, M48, Marder 1, Ru251, Wiesel, BMP1, M41 (HEAT bulldog), Ar234, Do335
Man spooky I really do love your editing and presintation style simple deadpan comedy 😂
I love playing the Chi-Ha short gun (12cm) cause you can lop the shell across the map like with the RBT-5s rockets
Spookston, i would love to see you play the SU-100Y its one of my favorite premium tank, if you love a huge naval gun strapped on a tank and being able to 1 shot a panther from the upper plate, its great, if you counter the reload.
Nothing like a smöl tank with two huge fuck-off rockets. Great vid as usual! I also would like to see your take on certain low-tier tanks of each nation (M2A2, Pz. III B or Sd. Kfz. 221, T-60, A13 Mk I or Light AA Mk I, Ha-Go or I-Go Ko, Chinese Sd. Kfz. 222, AB 41 or L6/40, AMC.34 YR or FCM.36, and the Strv m/38 or the Pvlvv fm/42). Totes not to make you suffer. Pinkie promise.

Hey spookston! I have a challenge for you. I want you to play the Italian Ottomatic. It's really fun to play as a tank destroyer in my experiences with it. I think you will like it too. (Day one)

I love that you made the rockets work
i would highly recommend using 2 buttons and mousewheel to set the range for vehicles like this, so for normal shots you can use mouswheel and for the rockets you can use buttons to quickly set it to a rough distance and correct with mousewheel
It is good Spookston that you have finally experienced the joy of indirect fire. Far better than trying to fight fender-to-fender.
