Changes: Medium Tank

Revision as of 06:39, 9 December 2009

This article is a Stub, maybe the original writers' house was attacked by the Black Hole army. You can help the Advance Wars Wiki by expanding it.

MDtanks — Medium Tanks of each force from AW2.

A Yellow Comet Medium Tank.

Medium Tanks, (sometimes referred to as Main Battle Tanks) are a Land Unit. They have appeared in all Advance Wars games. They have higher attack and defense than normal Tanks, but also cost more. In Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, Anti-Tank units can destroy these units easily. Their power is surpassed by Neotanks and War Tanks. MB Tanks are weaker but cheaper in Super Famicom Wars and Days of Ruin, with War Tanks, which are called Heavy Tanks in SFW, retaining the MB Tanks' cost and general power. (In fact, in the Japanese versions, the MB Tanks are called Heavy Tanks.)

Trivia

Orange Star's Medium Tank design is based off of the US Abrams Battle Tank. Rubinelle MBTs resemble them too.

Green Earth's Medium Tank design is based off of the Nazi Sturmgeschütz III Assault Gun, or perhaps the Nazi Jagdpanther Tank Hunter.

Blue Moon's Medium Tank design is based off of the Soviet Iosif Stalin tank. Lazurian and IDS MBTs resemble too.

Although Yellow Comet's army is based off the Imperial Japanese Army, it's Medium Tank closely resembles the Russian KV-2 Heavy Artillery Tank.
