It's literally twice the range of AT-4 except it can actually hit things at any range, as opposed to needing to shoot half a dozen of them to hit something.
MBT-LAW is, as the name implies, a LAW for killing MBTs. The fact that it is large is because MBTs need quite big warheads. The fact that it is fast is because it uses an inertial guidance system that relies on the tank not changing direction, braking, or speeding up during the flight time. If it were long ranged the tank crew might actually be able to respond. As it stands, they can't really do anything against it except shoot it down with an APS.
