The Medium Tank is the main battle tank of the Global Defense Initiative.

Appearance

The Medium Tank is a gold-colored rectangular-shaped tank with standard treads. It has a large cannon as almost as wide as the body mounted on the top.

Damage table

Full damage will be inflicted only if the target body is struck completely by the shell. Higher veterancy ranks will increase the base damage by a specified multiplier.

Function

The Medium Tank is the most common GDI vehicle in the game. It is equipped with a cannon that is capable of destroy most of Nod tanks and structures.

Strategy

Usage

The Medium Tank is the most versatile vehicle in the Global Defense Initiative's arsenal with many uses. The most common use is mounting siege into the enemy base as a large group. This will require assistance of Engineers and Hotwires to keep the tanks alive. Medium Tank can survive one-on-one head on combat with most Nod ground vehicles. However, it is wise to keep distance from the Flame Tank

Most players will choose Medium tank over Mammoth Tank.

Counter

GDI players are commonly using this vehicle as their main weapon. A group of anti-tank infantries can take on the vehicles as long as the repairs aren't heavy. Consider employing snipers to assassinate the Engineers and Hotwires.

A well-placed Airstrike can totally ruin a whole Medium Tank siege.

Trivia

• The Medium Tank closely resembles an M1 Abrams tank.
