This Tank Has Missiles Strapped To It

The French tech tree in War Thunder has a lot of underrated tanks, but probably my favorite is the AMX-13 light tank. There's a premium version that is the exact same thing but with anti-tank missiles slapped onto it. It is an exceptionally fun and effective vehicle.

Attempt 62 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.

Fun fact: you can disconnect your keyboard guided ATGM by entering binocular view, the missile will just continue on the trajectory and you will stop controlling it thus allowing you to move away
