Main Battle Tank

The mainstay of most armies, the main battle tank is a type of combat vehicle featured in Red Crucible. A main battle tank sports a powerful main gun (125-127mm) as its primary armament. It also contain secondary machine guns (50 cal. 12.7mm) which can be used to suppress or destory soft targets and light vehicles.

The MBT is the most powerful land vehicle in the game, but is rather slow and not as agile. However, each shot of of the main gun eliminates 400 armor to the other vehicle. The MBT also is the heaviest armored tank in the game, aquiring 1500 armor (500 more than the next high-armor tank).

Tips & Tactics

• Given the high damage the tank does, it is even more important to engage other vehicles from the back, which will do twice the amount of damage.
• The MBT is extremly effective against other vehicles, quickly destroying light armored tanks. It is somewhat effective against infantry, however it requires a direct hit to kill someone with the main cannon. If a player has an anti-tank weapon out, it is best to get out of the tank and kill the player with a primary or secondary weapon, as it is much more accurate than the tank's guns.
• The MBT is the largest threat to LUV's. If you happen to spot an LUV, quickly eliminate it as one shot will destroy the whole thing.
• If you are against another MBT, fight in it until the tank's health reaches 400 or less. Then, exit the vehicle and use an anti-tank weapon to finish your enemy off.
• One of the biggest threats to the helicopter is the MBT, as the shells can reach its elevation. Always aim your crosshair above the helicopter and fire, but try not to get spotted, as good pilots will eliminate very quickly. Shoot one shot every two seconds and hide beneath a tree to prevent the pilot from noticing you.
• It is best to fire the tank with someone in the M2 .50 BMG machine gun turret to take down anti-tank infantry.
