Tank

Tanks are the closest thing to an infantry unit that is available in Rusted Warefare. Being the cheapest ground unit, Tanks are extremely cost effective. That said, these cheap units are not very powerful individually, and even in groups are unable to dispatch tougher units. But they serve as excellent combat scouts and can even be used to rush very early on.

Strategy & Tips
Tanks are extremely cheap, which enables them to be spammed very easily. This coupled with their fast construction time means that you can have an army of these tanks built up in a short amount of time. A smart player can utilize this to perform a very early rush against an enemy while they are still building their defenses, capitalizing on their weakened state to strike a crucial blow.

Tanks like these however are so cheap because they are so expendable. With low health and very low damage output, these Tanks are not particularly dangerous, and any enemy that can attack and is full health can defeat a Tank 1-on-1.
