A-8 Tiger (EU)
Type 32 Nekomata (PAC)
Vehicle description:
Tanks are the most popular armored vehicles in the game. They provide great support for the infantry and they're able to fight at a very, very long distance. The crew is composed of two players. The first one steers the whole machine and fires the tank's cannon. The second person uses his mounted gun to eliminate flying objects and infantry.
Tanks have a great zoom. Thanks to that, the pilot can watch and attack targets from a distance of hundreds of meters! In addition, they're well armored.
There is one very important difference between EU and PAC machine. European tank is a caterpillar vehicle and its turret turns without any problems. PAC tank, Type 32 Nekomata, doesn't have caterpillars. Instead of this, it hovers, which has advantages and disadvantages as well. Good news is that it moves a bit faster in hilly terrain than its European equivalent. On the other hand, this tank has bigger inertness, so it drifts every time you turn this machine left or right. Moreover, its turret is fixed, so it is necessary to turn the whole vehicle if you want to aim at targets placed beside you. Although Nekomata hovers, it sinks in water like other vehicles, except battlewalkers.
Controls:
Tanks have nice zoom, which can be turned on and off by pressing right mouse button. Shooting while the zoom is active is possible and sometimes even recommended.
