| “ | Doing what's right. - Paladin Tank |
” |
The heaviest, most advanced tank in the United States arsenal, the M1A4 Paladin is a highly durable and well armed main battle tank. The Paladin's main gun makes it effective against armored vehicles and structures, and its composite armor is more resilient than that of the Crusader, but its true strength lies in its point defense laser, which can neutralize all manner of missiles. Their coaxial machine gun kills enemy infantry that get too close for comfort.
Like all US vehicles, each Paladin can be individually upgraded with Battle Drones or Targeteer Drones. Also, when a veteran Paladin is destroyed, its experienced Pilot will escape the vehicle relatively unharmed and can enter another US vehicle to boost that vehicle's veterancy.
The Paladin's already robust armor can be increased by 25% against all damage types with the Composite Armor upgrade, making it capable of going toe to toe against the heaviest of vehicles fielded by other factions. The Advanced Training upgrade allows it to gain veterancy at a much faster rate.
Tactics[]
| “ | Enemies of the free world! - Paladin Tank attacking |
” |
Paladins are excellent at destroying vehicles and buildings, while being capable of defending themselves against infantry. Their point defense laser also ensures that they can protect themselves and nearby units from missile-based attacks. While this affords some protection against missile-firing aircraft, their inability to attack aircraft means they must be escorted by anti-air units.
Counters[]
As Paladins lack built-in anti-air defense, they are vulnerable to aircraft. They are also susceptible to artillery and large groups of anti-tank infantry. Their point-defense laser has a limited rate of fire, meaning it is unlikely to be able to stop all missile attacks if a large number of them are targeted at a single unit or area.
