Usage in battles
Rb05A shines in ground realistic battles thanks to its 76.8 kilograms of tnt. You can use it against any tank in any battle rating. Even with the heaviest tanks you dont need to get a direct hit to destroy the tank. Therefore it can be used to splash kill lighter enemies from longer range.
In air battles you should not use the Rb05A because you can only load two of them and destroying two targets in one flight is not efficient. However the Rb05A does still pack apunc in air battles. If you are wery skilled you can use it to kill enemy planes thanks to its proximity fuse but it is extremely hard to do this cause the missile is hard to control. Rb05A's only use in air battles is to destroy pillboxes and tanks.
