Tank

Tanks are armored and mechanized vehicles with heavy firepower. They usually incorporate cannons and machine guns to support allied infantry. These tanks vary in characteristics such as different armaments, armor, speed, and size.

In Centaura, tanks behave much like Armored Cars, being heavily armored, AI-controlled vehicles that are capable of devastating infantry and requiring heavy weapons or explosives to be destroyed. They are more durable than the Armored Cars, able to withstand a dynamite blast, and do not stop to shoot at enemies, instead firing as they move. Currently, tanks can be found on Mons Planus, Roland's Prairie, Route 23 and Talona.

Campaigns in the South

1908-1914 Tanks of the Southern Corvus War and Aquilan Campaign. Antares Aquila Cetus Heavy Machinegun E/1912 Type Infantry Tank Nationality Antares Imperium Overview Map Roland's Prairie Route 23 Downtown Talona Health 2,500 Armament 1x 2-inch cannon 3x machine guns Damage 75 (machine gun) 1250 (cannon) Capacity 8 Audio Firing Cannon Machine gun Engine Death sound Service Whitemouth Estuary A heavy design made by Antares. It is armed with a 2-inch cannon and three machine guns; two on the sides and one in a rotating turret. It is seen at Whitemouth Estuary being transported by rail. Roland's Prairie It participates in Roland's Prairie as armored support for the Antareans. Since they're bulletproof, Antarean soldiers are able to use the tank as cover from the Aquilans, although they're vulnerable to Anti-Tank Rifles, Aquilan Field Guns (able to destroy them in two hits in fact), dynamite and tripwire bombs. If a tank is destroyed, a new one will spawn in to replace it after a little while, although it has to drive to where the old tank was destroyed. The tanks will stop permanently at the third sector of the map to prevent Aquilan players from flanking behind when the Antarean players move to the fourth sector. Tanks can also destroy an Anti-Tank Pillbox after damaging it a few times with their cannons. Route 23 It participates in Route 23 as armored support for the Antareans. They function much the same as in Roland's Prairie, but unlike there, there is a finite amount of them. Antares must prevent all of their tanks from being destroyed before capturing point C, or push to point E to win. Antarean tanks will fire up on Aquilan tanks should they meet. Talona Antarean tanks appear in Talona, providing support to the attacking Antareans. Gallery Sideview of the Antarean Male Tank. Backside of the Antarean Male Tank.

Trivia The Antarean Heavy Tank appears to be based on the German A7V heavy tank, with the differences being that the top hump is moved forward and now a cylindrical turret instead of the driver's area, as well as some other minimal changes in design. It would also appear that there are doors on the sides rather than machine gun ports. For some reason, Antarean Heavy Tanks at Roland's Prairie and Route 23 won't activate Tripwire Bombs, it is unknown if this is intentional or not. The Antarean Heavy Tank tracks do not move. It take approximately 12 shots with a Anti-Tank Rifle to destroy an Antarean Heavy Tank, so you need to have good cover and patience to destroy single heavy tank. It is easier to disable them If you shoot the backside of the tank, though this opportunity may not always be there.

These tanks can be destroyed via flamethrowers, dynamite, and tripwire bombs. Artillery can also destroy them as well. Route 23 They reappear in Route 23 as armored support for the Antareans. Unlike in Mons Planus, these tanks come in finite amounts, and will assist Antares in pushing to point E. Gallery Frontside of the Antarean Female Tank. Backside of the Antarean Female Tank.
