It must be fully researched in the Vehicle 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Le véhicule peut être stocké dans un Dépôt, Port ou Navire de Stockage.
Il peut être emballé en un petit Expédiable et transporté par un Véhicule d'expédition (Grue, Camion Plateau, Barge, Cargo, Navire de Stockage, Navire de débarquement, Wagon Plat, ou Grande Grue).
Its speed, autonomy and firepower make the Icarus a great vehicle for quick raids against enemy defenses and supply routes in back-line regions.
Although the vehicle can deal significant damage to enemy light armored vehicles, it isn't recommended to fight them, especially head on.
The effectiveness of the Icarus is multiplied when used in groups of 3, because it allows to kill all Pillbox types in one salvo and thus not having to fear the retaliating fire. Against light armored vehicles or even Scout Tanks, 3 Icarus can prevail if they use their mobility to flank.
If firing at a very close target the RPG's explosion can damage the vehicle as well.
The RPG being a slow moving projectile, the speed of moving targets must be taken into account when firing.
To maximize the RPG's range you must aim at the top of your target, but if you are firing from a short distance you should aim at a vertical surface so the shell doesn't pass over the target. This is due to the RPG using a similar aiming as firearms, making you aim a bit above flat surfaces.
The crew being vulnerable is the vehicle's greatest weakness, a single Grenade can kill the whole crew if caught off-guard. Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb and High Explosive Grenade are dangerous but less of an issue given the vehicle's mobility.
Because the passenger can't use binoculars from their seat, the Icarus has less spatial awareness than a Half-Track or Tank.
