4.25: The Hovertanks (TA:CC) | [Back to the WarGuide]
Hovercrafts in general are great, but hovertanks are even better. A hovertank's main advantage is speed. You can take out an AI Commander with just one hovertank if you move in circles around him. These units also have other advantages too: 1) Good rate of fire - They fire fast, and are very accurate. They track well, making their shells almost always on target. 2) Speed - Another thing I didn't mention about speed above is the fact that hovertanks are able to outrun plasma cannon fire, making them good units to use when trying to get through a Guardian or Punisher. Also, Goliaths have an extremely had time tracking them, when they are able to move openly. 3) Shell Arc - This means that the fired shells are able to overcome Dragon's Teeth, making DT'd defenses a little easier to get through.
