"The top brass back at Imperial High Command spent several years deciding how they would follow up the success of the Medium Tank. Given that it was named the “medium” tank, it’s odd that it took them so long to make a heavier version. Regardless, the Heavy Tank has arrived and promises to pummel anything standing in its way."
— 1.2 Patch Notes

Overview[]

The Heavy Tank is a tank unlocked at Level 35. Training this unit is both a costly and lengthy endeavor, however, the Heavy Tank offers a good combination of HP and Armor, making it a formidable adversary.

Compared to the Super Tank (which is available at an earlier player level), the Heavy Tank lacks a bit of the other's damage but shaves off quite a bit of health. The Heavy Tank also requires more resources to promote, as well as more time and resources to heal, and the Super Tank unlocks its Auto Fire attack at Rank 2, compared to the Heavy Tank's Rank 3. Its greatest strategic strengths include the fact that it can be trained without the need for Nanopods and can be promoted more quickly than units like the the Heavier Tank, thanks to its more forgiving SP requirements. Like the Super Tank, it provides invaluable defense against the Armored Raider Mammoth at early player levels.

Like many other tanks of its class, the Heavy Tank has a Tank Gun that deals a hefty amount of damage, but delivers it with poor accuracy. Also like other tanks equipped with the tank gun, a machine gun option is available at a higher rank to deal with higher Defense, unarmored targets. It costs  10 to research, but is not really worth it, because the Heavier Tank gets one a few levels down the line.

Unless players choose to spend Nanopods, the Heavy Tank will be the main battle tank until the Heavier Tank is unlocked at level 47, replacing the Heavy Tank.

    Trivia[]

    • The tank appears to be inspired by the Kliment Voroshilov Tank, a Russian heavy tank that was used in World War II.
    • Despite having 2 machine guns mounted on the sides of the tank, the Machine Gun attack shows gunfire coming from the driver's view port, like the Light Tank.
    • In the firing animation for the Heavy Tank Gun, the turret will appear to pass through the walls of metal on the sides of the turret.

    Updates[]
