The Tank Drop is a promotional ability available only to Chinese General Ta Hun Kwai, famous for his heavy reliance on armoured divisions.

Overview[]

Similar to the Paradrop used by the United States and fellow General Fai, the Tank Drop involves the deployment of units by air; however, in this case, the units deployed are tanks, specifically Battlemasters.

There are three levels:

  • Tank drop 1: 1 Battlemaster
  • Tank drop 2: 2 Battlemasters
  • Tank drop 3: 4 Battlemasters

As only a few Battlemasters are dropped, Tank Drops are best used tactically for maximum effect. Combined with his Battlemaster Training which produces them at Elite veterancy, even a small group of them at the right spot can cause heavy damage.

Trivia[]

The selection pictures of the Tank Drop are found in the file where the American selection pictures are stored. On top of that, they depict American Crusader tanks, rather than Chinese Battlemaster tanks. This suggests that originally the Tank Drop was supposed to go to America, but since it does not really fit any of the factions, it may be either a relic of the prototype (which had an American Tank General), or a sign that the developers wanted to resurrect this idea for the expansion pack.
