Gatling tank (Generals 1)

"I have many bullets to spare!"

- Gattling Tank

"Gattling Tanks" were light tanks deployed by China, armed with a single large Gattling 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. This made the Gatling Tank a good scout early on in a battle until MiGs could be produced. Also, whilst they are attacking an enemy, they will chant taunts such as; "Rapid Fire!", "I have many bullets to spare!" and "Spin them up!". They are the only units in Generals that do this

Tactics/Counters
"Don't stop til it's over!"

- Gatling Tank in combat

Gatling Tanks were often deployed as anti-infantry and anti-aircraft protection for squads of heavier tanks, such as Battlemasters and Overlord tanks. 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.
