Light Tank (The Clash)

The "Redemption" Light Tank is a Tier 2 ground vehicle created by the Republic. It resembles the Star Wars TX-130 Saber fighter tank, with a mix of modern tank designs that allow it to rotate the turrets.

Requirements
The player just needs a Vehicle Factory MKI built.

Lore
Intended as a support vehicle to the larger Heavy Tanks, the Light Tank is nonetheless an effective weapon in urban and other close quarters environments where heavier armor would be at a disadvantage. Whilst not as fast as an IFV or a Hoverbike, it packs a meaner punch, with two light positron cannons able to punch through light to medium armor with relative ease, and an anti-personnel laser turret to keep hostile infantry at bay.

Equipment
The Light Tank is a well-balanced ground unit. It uses its dual positron cannons to make short work of most ground units, and the cannons have a small area of effect when firing.

It has an anti-personnel laser cannon that can be used by another player in FPS mode.

It can also be upgraded with missiles to add more firepower against some armored units.

As an early unit, almost all of the Republic ground vehicles use anti-gravity engines, giving it an advantage to traverse rough terrain and giving it a top speed of 120 mph.

Quotes
The Light Tank speaks in a standard British accent.
