Tank (Helldivers 2)

Shamelessly copied from Super Earth tank designs, the Automaton Tank is inferior in a multitude of aspects. Slow turret traverse and movement speed while ripping off a 20th-century classic! How offensive! It’s plain to see that Automatons are nothing more than rascals and thieves, especially when a single enterprising Helldiver can take down their tanks while those of Super Earth can lay waste to entire platoons.

They can be divided into two types:

Annihilator Tank - Equipped with a Heavy Cannon and two heavy machine guns; one on the front of the hull, the other co-axial with the main cannon.
 * -|Tank =
 * -|Shredder Tank =

Shredder Tank - Equipped with quad-heavy laser cannons.

WARNING: The engines that power these tanks are highly unreliable; given this, they will cook off and explode violently when the tank is destroyed. It is thus advised to avoid standing near a tank until this explosion has occurred; if the tank’s weaponry doesn’t get you, Helldiver, the blast will.

Tactics

 * The vents on the back of the tank's turret are its central weak spot; shoot this with any weapon to destroy it. Support weapons will be more effective, however.
 * You can shoot the tank's treads to leave it completely immobile.
 * The Orbital Precision Strike is one of the most reliable ways to destroy it. One hit will destroy it instantly; it has a short cooldown, and because the tank does not move much, it is easy to get the Precision Strike to hit successfully.
 * Other good stratagems to use against it are the Orbital EMP Strike, which allows you to run behind it and shoot its weak spot, Orbital Railcannon Strike, Orbital Laser Strike, Eagle 110mm Rocket Pods, Eagle Airstrike (100% success not guaranteed), Eagle 500kg Bomb. Sentry guns are designed to deal with armor.
 * Barrage Orbitals (120mm, 350mm, and Walking Barrage) can kill tanks with ease; however, due to their inaccuracy, long cool-downs, and being more so intended to destroy a large area of multiple enemies/bases, it is advised not to use these on a single tank.
 * The Top armor of the tank's turret is thinner, allowing rockets and grenades to deal more damage.
 * Note: The Shredder Tank’s turret has noticeably weaker armor than its Annihilator counterpart.
 * Destroyed (and active) tanks can be used as physical cover.
 * You can jump directly on top of the tank's turret, making it impossible for it to shoot you.
