The Rare Soviet Sturmtiger

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.

The Rare Soviet Sturmtiger

[Silus_Korso]

You got me into this game, and after a month of non-stop gameplay I burned myself out. But watching you play is always a treat. Thank you

[MPdude]

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.

[XSpamDragonX]

This thing isn't anything like the Sturmtiger, it's actually fun and useful. I didn't see you get shot in the rocket and blown up, and when you lob them randomly across the map, things actually have exposed crew to die to the explosion.

Try the SU 122, it's a Russian TD who is at 2.3, its armor is crazy strong and the tank is very very fast, and its cannon destroys everything

"How do we not pen a stuart!?"

You tell me, playing in a M5A1 and I couldn't pen a puma at point blank range with bri'ish AP shells

[Snack-Sized-Femboy]

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.

The IS-6 is pure stalinium and it’s very fast for a heavy. Without a doubt one of the best premium at Russia’s disposal, you should definitely give it a shot

[KV-_Enjoyer]

I love the memes you put in the intro of your videos, keep up the great work mate! Also, can you play the Soviet T-35? :)

[BOKCGrizzlyWarlord]

Can you make a video on the Machbet or the Vulcan, while trying to use it as a tank destroyer against enemy tanks? I think the Machbet is my favorite at top tier Israel

[-MarcelDavis-]

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

1:06 "How do we non-pen a Stuart"

Shooting through a solid stone wall probably had something to do with it

[messyjessem.]

I recently saw the RBT while playing low tier Sweden, thought to myself "I haven't seen a RBT in a while" and what do you know Spookston makes a video on it.

[adamg]

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.

[Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

This might be my new favorite video of yours. So funny lolol.

Please for the love of whatever there is out there, do the Super Pershing :_(

[mattb.]

I have this tank, but rarely use it, but its stupid fun. On Cargo Port, i had capped the A point, and had eyes on a M8 that was across the road near B. So figured i would try and use the rockets. Launched one, hit the building three stories above him, and the splash damage alone killed him. And that was not adjusting the range.

[Skip.]

My only complaint with this vehicle is how long the rockets take to reload (but that also goes for rockets in general tbh)

[_hanz]

It's so cool!! I love that you could become an artillery support with that thing, kinda wish that there's an infantry or spotter to guide the target

[pastayesss]

Your videos gives me some joy after hard day of grinding, tysm

[noidea]

Ok I have to ask, does ANYBODY know where spookston gets those dog/cat imaged he uses in the videos as reactions? I cannot explain how much I love them, I adore them so much to the point it's irrational. I make sure to screenshot pretty much every single one, they're hillarious.

[jujuteuxOfficial]

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
