Battlemaster tank

The Battlemaster is China's basic tank. Inexpensive and quick to build, the Battlemaster is designed to be rushed at the enemy in great numbers; groups of 5 or more Battlemasters will gain a Horde Bonus, improving their rate of fire. The Battlemaster lacks any anti-air or anti-infantry protection.

Upgrades
The Battlemaster may be upgraded with Uranium Shells and the Nuclear Tanks upgrade, improving its firepower and speed respectively. General Tao's Battlemasters have these upgrades by default. General Ta Hun Kwai may also upgrade his Battlemasters with the Autoloader, significantly increasing their rate of fire.

Tactics
The Battlemaster is something of a mediocre unit, lacking the speed of the GLA's basic Scorpion tank and the armour of the USA's Crusader. It is still quite effective against vehicles and structures, but China's key armoured unit remains the Overlord. The Battlemaster requires protection from other units to compensate for its weaknesses - Gatling Tanks are most effective for this purpose.

One of General Kwai's Generals Powers allows him to drop Battlemasters anywhere on the map by air (up to 3 Battlemasters at the highest level).
