BT-5

General Information
The BT-5 is the Soviet starter tank in Steel Titans. Its tech tree upgrade is the BT-7. It leads to the popular Soviet light-medium line.

Playstyle
The BT-5 has light armor but a decently powerful gun. It is easy for more powerful opponents to kill though. Use your speed to get the jump on enemies and avoid enemy fire. You do not have much health or armour, so it is recommended you keep moving and don't be an easy target.

BT-5 vs. Panzer 38(t) Ausf. A
Equal matchup. The BT-5 is slightly faster while the 38(t) has heavier frontal armor. Coming from head on, both tanks would be advised to aim at their opponent's turret ring, underneath the gun mantle. Both can easily penetrate hitting the side head on or from the back, but (importantly) not the side armor if the opponent has angled their tank. Usually whoever has superior positioning wins, or whoever can get off their shots the fastest.
