Flak track

The Flak track is a Soviet anti-aircraft support vehicle used during the Third World War and Psychic Dominator Disaster. It was also the first mass-produced Soviet light support vehicle designed after the Second World War.

Background
Flak tracks are the Soviets' multipurpose vehicles. Their main purpose is the first line of air defense, with the flak cannon mounted on them. Excellent against Allied air units, these cannons are also effective against lighter vehicles and infantry, but are poor choices against stronger tanks and buildings. Their secondary purpose is to transport infantry to the front line. Each Flak track can carry up to 5 infantrymen.

In-game
Unlike the Allied IFV, Flak tracks can squish enemy infantry. For example, they can run over enemy attack dogs before unloading engineers to ensure the capture of a key structure (this is popularly called the engi rush). The same tactic is used for Crazy Ivans and Cuban terrorists.

Aftermath
In the ppWar of the Three Powers, the Flak track was replaced (along with the [[Sea Scorpion) by the amphibious Bullfrog which fulfilled the same role.

Trivia
This unit is inspired from a German made anti-air halftracks used by the Axis powers (the Sdkfz 251/17 - Sonderkraftfahrzeug (2 cm FlaK38), Sdkfz 10/4 & 10/5, etc.) during World War II.
