History
The Horizon Artillery Tank is a light-ranged vehicle created to complement the Grizzly/Cavalier/Liberty and Ironfire tanks in ground vehicle warfare. It is capable of carrying its own ammunition while keeping even the quick pace of the Grizzly tank, has an impressive rate of fire and the range of its main cannon outdistances even some other artillery units already in use. However, both of these advantages arise from the incredibly small size and hitting power of the Horizon shells.

The damage it does to buildings is almost negligible, and even its effectiveness against tanks is laughable; for this reason, the Horizon was not put into use immediately after development was complete. An artillery unit that doesn't hurt tanks is of no use against the mighty Voshkod war machine and later the Destroyers. Needless to say, the arrival of the Zephyr, with their legions of versatile yet light vehicles, earned the Horizon a second chance.

If necessary, the Horizon can occasionally fire a special Chronorift Shell that, like the Chrono Rift protocol, temporarily removes the target from the battlefield so it cannot hit or be hit by anything. The blast radius of the Chronoshell is somewhat lacking, but a single well-aimed shot could stall those Apocalypse tanks enough to bring in the heavy support. The Chronorift shell is also effective against buildings, so if a Bishop or Hailstorm is not available to hit the defenses, a few Horizons will buy the rest of the army a few seconds to speed through the breach.
