Plasma Tank

The Plasma Tank is an alternative to the more universal Heavy Tank. While it lacks the versatility of its predecessor, the Plasma Tank provides increased attack power as well as greater durability thanks to the addition of a Shield. Despite its higher expense, large numbers of these Tanks can prove to be quite powerful in most combat situations. However, their lack of anti-air and their low health against lightning can result in these tanks becoming a grave fault in the players war campaign.

Strategy & Tips
Plasma Tanks are quite powerful, especially given their modest price. Although lacking in the same versatility of the Heavy Tank, their firepower is significantly higher than the Heavy Tank. Not to mention their shields provide added durability in the face of non-lightning firepower.

Nevertheless, the Plasma Tank is still highly vulnerable to aircraft and any source of lightning damage. The Amphibious Jet in particular is deadly to this unit. To help protect these tanks from their weaknesses, it would be wise to pair them with strong Anti-Air units, such as the Anti-Air Mech or the AA Missile Tank. Sadly, nothing can protect them from Lightning. So try to avoid fighting enemy forces with that attack capability. Steer clear of Mammoth Tanks!
