  • Tick tank
rdfs:comment
  • The Tick tank replaced the light tank from the First Tiberium War, with attention paid to their armor and attack power. While it was cheap and fast, it was surprisingly underpowered compared to GDI Titans during a one-on-one battle, but its cost gave Nod the opportunity to build more and faster. The Tick has a front-mounted entrenchment tool. When entrenched the hull assumes a vertical position with the front burrowed into the ground. The tank becomes immobilized but benefits from greater protection and turret rotation.

abstract
  • The Tick tank replaced the light tank from the First Tiberium War, with attention paid to their armor and attack power. While it was cheap and fast, it was surprisingly underpowered compared to GDI Titans during a one-on-one battle, but its cost gave Nod the opportunity to build more and faster. The Tick has a front-mounted entrenchment tool. When entrenched the hull assumes a vertical position with the front burrowed into the ground. The tank becomes immobilized but benefits from greater protection and turret rotation. Tick tank design somewhat resembles an assault gun, with limited capability to aim its cannon. It becomes a fully fledged turret when entrenched, relocating the propulsion power to the turret and entrenchment tool. Tick tank must entrench itself should it find altitude restriction to aim its cannon. The entrenched position actually makes the tank "stand up", giving its cannon a broader room and nullifying any height obstacles. The Tick Tank was replaced by the Scorpion tank after the Firestorm Crisis.
