The Tank is the heavy unit of the Progressive Era and it is trained in a Tank Factory. Same as other heavy class units, it has a moderately low damage, the highest defense, and moderate speed and range. No terrain bonus is received from plains, unlike from previous ages. It is very strong against ranged and fast units, but it is weak against both Artillery Unit, i.e. Rapid Fire Cannon and Light Unit, i.e. Conscript. They are even effective against Modern Era fast and ranged units, because of their incredibly strong bonuses.


Against Same Age Units[]

Artillery Unit Rapid Fire Cannon[]

Not only the tanks will have a hard time reaching RFCs but their low damage against the Dug-In and the high defense bonus against Heavy Units of the RFCs mean that they will survive many shots from Tanks. The Rapid Fire Cannon will take more than two hits to kill tanks, so they should be taken out as fast as possible by other units.

Fast Unit Armored Car[]

The Tank is the best counter against the Armored Car, having an incredible bonus of 50 attack and defense against them. They take little damage from Armored Cars, and in return do massive damage against them.

Light Unit Conscript[]

Although this matchup is not as unfavourable as against the Rapid Fire Cannons, this is a fight the Tank wouldn't want to take part in. Plus, if the Conscript is in a trench, the Tank will do little damage to it. The Tank will sustain quite a lot of damage if Conscripts manage to get their Close-Quarters ability in action. It is advisable to pair the tanks with snipers to take out the conscripts first.

Ranged Unit Sniper[]

The Tank is one of the Sniper's counters. They may not have the mobility to get near a sniper as effective as the Armored Car, but the Tank is resistant enough to sustain many sniper shots to finally get near them and take them out. The Tank may have a hard time attacking Snipers in forests, but they are tough enough to withstand many shots from the Sniper.
