BAT-4M Basic Guide

Introduction

Added to Project CW during the second alpha this vehicle is a close range specialist focused on team-play. The BAT-4M is a sturdy tank with repair functionality and no turret sporting dual cannons. This vehicle is classed as a defender but primarily supports vehicles of this role. It has high dpm, good survivability and a tool to repair allies, lethal in a close range brawl.

General Gameplay

This tank is classed as a defender which it isn't with its high speed, I would highly recommend playing around other tanks and playing to flanks but within range to support them quickly with repair welder. You should also look to hull-down as much as possible as you become very invulnerable but this is not the most effective if you are facing enemies frontally. The lack of turret also allows you to keep your front towards allies whilst engaging enemies that might be to your flank, very powerful when trying to isolate enemies.

If you end up in a one on one engagement you should primarily use the gun unless you accidentally overheat as its more dpm. You can also use your mobility to flank tanks in a one on one and most tanks have poor depression over the back of their vehicle.

I would highly recommend using the large repair kit for more sustain throughout the game and ensure you get full use of this, but if you prefer you can run small repairs and play around the dozer shields. Repair kits also repair your shields which is an important factor.

Guns

The guns overheat rather quickly but with ammocrits against tanks with no damage reduction modifiers you can do about 2000 damage. This is important because you one clip hounds (leopard 1a6s). You should primarily be focusing lightly armoured targets over other defenders.

This tank is very strong in terms of firepower as long as you don't overheat, if you can't min max the heat meter stop firing that extra shot early to ensure you don't overheat.

You should try to shoot at enemies that are using their repair kits, this is one of the tanks strengths with its constant uptime on the guns. I also want to note this tank has very low module damage, and it takes about 16 shots to set tanks on fire, although fuel tanks are hittable on a lot of tanks frontally and are increased damage to regular shots.

Repair Welder

This ability also has its own heat meter, and it's important to know that overheating is actually stronger than not. There's a delay before cooling where if you overheat there is no such delay, so it's actually better to overheat. Welder also has a strong affect that buffs allies and reduces the damage they take whilst being repaired, you can also repair multiple allies at one time. This ability is a lot of score for this tank, but I wouldn't make repairing allies your primary focus, during combat unless you can give them emergency repairs to keep them in the fight.

Deploy Dozer

This is mostly a tool you don't want to actively be using as the side shields are actually a lot more useful most the time than the frontal shields when poking around corners, It's important to know which vehicles this ability or feature is useless against which is most noticeably the xm1 90 hesh rounds and the raketa missiles. They are effectively 300 hit-points if used correctly.

Shield note: They absorb a lot of damage particularly against HEAT ammo and are essential against things such as hounds. This tank can ammo rack crit you frontally, so it's important to treat these tanks as a serious threat.

Fireworks

The first thing I want to say about this ultimate is it is destroyable and can be destroyed by strikes but has a delay before the aps actually deploys. It can stop most types of ammunition or projectiles. I would recommend placing this in dire situations on to protect allies during domination points. This ability also applies hasted which is extremely strong for reverse speed currently.

An important note is that if you are using repair welder and you place this your welder will undeploy.

Final tip: Play with friends and have fun.
