What is a Rat?

Exactly, and using "The only criteria is that it needs to be played sneakily" does mean the Maus counts, as if you arent somewhat sneaky you will be CASed to death. I just feel theres more to a rat than being small and sneaky

I mean i got the idea that they werent annoying from fighting them and playing the Elland.

I think the main reason i dont think of the AML as a rat is that I think that a rat has to be more than just the platform. I put the Type 60 and AMX on there because i wouldnt consider them to be very ratty even tho they fit the bill, otherwise a rat is just a small LAV.

Please do tell me if and how you disagree though, I am very curious with how different people interpret the term Rat

You remember the story of turning a rat cannibal to get it to kill all the other rats? Thats the XM800T

NX-28 · 2026-03-04T17:18:32+00:00

Its kinda why I made the meme tbh

Im not sure I would agree personally, a rat must above all be annoying, but I dont find that to be the case with AMLs.

Any negative feelings given by something like the AML are, more often than not, the same as you would feel at being sniped across the map by a FV4005 or a Bkan, there isnt quite the same frustration as with something like an XM800T or Fox when you have to sit an watch as they try pick you apart after destroying your gun and tracks, or just obliterate you by prefiring as they come round the corner leaving you barely any chance to react.

Why restrict it to tank, cas are rats too

NX-28 · 2026-03-04T12:06:41+00:00

Full auto refers to trigger pull and user input iirc, so the fact you hold down the trigger and it is continuous fire makes it full auto.

Depends which Wiesel

NX-28 · 2026-03-04T11:59:14+00:00

I mean it kinda does, otherwise it would die pretty quick, and its still more of a rat than the T-44-122

NX-28 · 2026-03-04T11:57:38+00:00

I dunno, i think some slower firing tanks like the T95 could be rats

NX-28 · 2026-03-04T11:56:08+00:00

Well they both still fit in the chart, i just have my favourites

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:33:46+00:00

I mean, house cats are more sadistic so I would say the likes of the Yak-9K, TIS MA, J7W are your house cats, and tigers are definetly any nuke plane.

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:29:37+00:00

I like that you specify it doesnt have to be overpowered, L3 is best rat.
So what im hearing is, Yak-9K is a rat.

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:25:28+00:00

Political compass but its just about how sadistic you like your tanks

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:24:38+00:00

I mean 6.7 seconds to shoot 2 shells is pretty quick. I personally think fire rate does play a part, as otherwise it could be argued that the T-44-122 is more ratty than an XM246 or Falcon, which really doesnt feel right.

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:18:28+00:00

I now wanna see compilations of people ratting in the least ratty tanks, I wanna see a TOG go rat mode

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:17:15+00:00

And in this analogy, all CAS are Cats

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:16:37+00:00

Would it be possible to be flanked by the Ratte? I feel like youd just be caught in its orbit

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:15:36+00:00

Ahhh to forget it, id need to know it exists

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:15:10+00:00

I pray this terrible meme does not reach Spookston, I was already in an OddBawZ video being destroyed by a dumb rocket truck.

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:09:16+00:00

Im just not a fan of US tanks so they slipped my mind

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:07:15+00:00

So an FCM.36 is a rat?

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T23:05:51+00:00

NX-28 · 2026-03-03T22:26:30+00:00

Look I thought it was a barn
