This type of tank costs 10 credits. It has a 50% chance of hitting and destroying enemy units during an attack while defensively only doing so 33.3% of the time. This makes it suited more for offensive forces.
It has very good mobility and it can be used for "blitzing" or "blitzkriegs". This is where it races across unoccupied enemy terrain to effectively take it from an opponent. Retreating is NOT an option if used in this way. It must stop if moving into an occupied land-zone, so make sure that zone is empty.
A single main battle tank may be carried upon a transport ship. It has no air-defense capability, relying upon anti-air artillery (AAA) and surface-air missiles (SAM) for protection from air units. |
