Tactical analysis

 * Jack of all trades: The Edwards tank is the definition of a main battle tank. Able to go toe to toe with most tanks and infantry with its cannon and HMG for a cheap price while shrugging off counter attacks. And is also armed with high explosive rounds that is devastating against infantry and structures
 * Leading the charge: As it charges into combat they can fire off a smoke screen behind them, covering their allies but slowing down.
 * Need air support: Note that the Edwards have no way to face against aircraft, relying on an escort covering them, and it also takes a few seconds to switch between AP and high-ex rounds, giving the enemy a window of opportunity. And being a jack of all trades also has its own drawbacks
 * Storage update: One of the updated models had, among improved armour, manage to shrink the engine without a loss to power, giving the tank space to place a prototype forcefield matrix which grants radial cover to surrounding infantry in combat, alongside gaining automatic grenade launcher, giving them a minor defence against infantry and vehicles and allowing them to degarrison units.

Ace upgrade
Edwards tank grants cover to surrounding infantry, increased armor, and HMG is upgraded to automatic grenade launcher, which can degarrison structures

Trivia

 * The Edwards is based off the ww2 Sherman tank. While it's name is a reference to Eddard Stark
