Well it sort of does. RW has sorter range than ATG and need more time to fire the first shot than other ATG. RW is simply less forgiving than other ATGs when it comes to first shot.
(clarified)
I don't mean it changes nothing in general. Just nothing about my point
Stug said cloak was needed so that a tank doesn't shoot your rak before the rak shoots first. If that happens, even with 5 shorter range, that means you had nothing spotting for an AT gun
In the post you quoted and corrected, I was only speaking to that specific scenario. The Rak is plenty capable of getting one shot off before a tank does, with or without camo
