Gatling tank (Generals 1)

"Gattling Tanks" (sic) were light tanks deployed by China, armed with a single large Gatling gun. This weapon could be aimed at both ground and air targets. Gatling Tanks were thus effective versus infantry, light vehicles and aircraft. They were also among China's faster vehicles, and were cheap and easy to produce on the battlefield.

Upgrades

 * Chainguns - Improved the speed of the Gatling Tank's gun, and by extension damage done in a given amount of time.

Tactics/Counters
Gatling Tanks were often deployed as anti-infantry and anti-aircraft protection for squads of heavier tanks, such as Battlemasters and Overlords. They were also effective as flexible, mobile anti-air defence for Chinese bases. However, they were no match for heavy weapons, and the gun's spin-up time was a weakness when compared to, for example, the GLA's Quad Cannon or America's Avenger.
