DESCRIPTION
The HTMA-5 Rattlesnake is a small low-cost defensive ATGM carrier deployed for the Newquay Armed Forces in the early 60s. Developed off a distinctive WW2 Half-Track named the “HT-5”, the Rattlesnake is primarily used for anti-tank defence in desert environments, where it can lay hull-down in a defensive position and provide defence without having to reveal itself. Its main armament is its three SLM-5 “Penguin” 2km ranged SACLOS guided missiles mounted at the back that provide precise targeting of enemy vehicles and fortifications alike. Due to its low cost and effectiveness, the HTMA-5 remains in limited service across some NQ Ground force branches. However as of recently, is slowly being replaced by the more advanced M7D1 “Rat” ATGM Carrier.

PLEASE NOTE:
- The HTMA-5 uses a manual gearbox, it cannot start from 0mph on high gear. If the engine stalls, let go of the throttle and allow it to build RPS again.
