Microwave weapons cleared for battle.
- Microwave Tank leaving the War Factory

The Microwave Tank is the American advanced anti-infantry/anti-garrison vehicle. It emits a strong AOE (area of effect) attack that is lethal to any nearby enemy infantry and capable of neutralizing mines. It can also concentrate its microwave beam on a structure or vehicle to disable it or to clear garrisons.

- Microwave Tank attacking

The Microwave Tank was one of the great American successes in the last war. As Tomahawk missiles and Nighthawks could be shot down by enemy base defenses, Microwave Tanks are designed to help shutting down base defenses and structures from a safe distance. They also excel at keeping American armored columns safe against rampaging Angry Mobs and clearing garrisoned buildings. With the passage of time, it has only improved. New signal processors and advances in on-board power sources have allowed the Microwave Tank to direct its attacks toward enemy vehicles as well. This will deactivate their engines and power systems, leaving them open for the kill by other forces. The new equipment has resulted in a slight price increase, but almost everyone agrees it's well worth it.
