The Mini Tank is a FUSION vehicle in Crash of Cars.
Like a tank, smite a tank. Life is ours, we live it our way.
Descriptions[]
The Mini Tank is a compact vehicle with an army green bodywork, though brighter than Tank's olive drab. It possesses treads, a tiny top hatch, vertical truck exhausts and a short turret gun with a muzzle brake
Special Properties[]
The Mini Tank has 50% collision damage resistance.
Strategies[]
The Mini Tank is a much more powerful version of the original Tank, with its damage resistance against collisions that allows it to survive in close quarters combat, while its handling and size makes it much more sustainable. The principle of this vehicle is brutally simple and straightforward, using its high ramming damage to gain the upper hand without power-ups and force lighter opponents out of the way, while rendering the same less effective on itself and discouraging threats from fighting it up close. If that wasn't enough, Mini Tank's acceleration tops up its handling, able to swiftly dodge hostiles at range while still maintaining full speed. Though it isn't the best at catching up, Mini Tank still packs its own punch offensively, where its handling allows it to get in lethally accurate hits as it smashes them with brute force. These factors easily contribute to its popularity and dominance.
Mini Tank's prime weakness, however, is its low top speed. Although this is usually an acceptable trade-off for 6-health vehicles, in the case of Mini Tank it unfortunately dents the rest of its kit. As opposed to the likes of The Extravagant, Mini Tank's low speed prevents it from outrunning CQC Power-ups such as Flamethrowers, and despite its high ramming damage, the fact that it does not resist other damage sources or knockback effects puts it at a surprisingly vulnerable position. When approached up close in a realistic scenario where other vehicles often enter the fray, it often boils down to luck and tactics, as it can either turn the tables or get bashed to oblivion into water by Spikes. The top speed also limits aggressive options, as most power-ups do not fare well out of sight and the few that do often have significant limitations. It does have a moderately good matchup against heavier vehicles, but lighter ones tend avoid contact and rely on other means of destruction, rendering its ability moot for the most part as it struggles to retaliate.
To sum it up, Mini Tank is a rather devastating vehicle in practice. It has its own drawbacks, some of the most expensive fusion requirements in the game, and could have been so much more, yet it persists with its unyielding viability and proves to be among the strongest of its ranks when in the right hands.
