• As such, you are a class that you can also equip with special weapons and gadgets.
• You can spawn in different tanks, all of which are equipped differently.
• You should make your tank choice based on what your team needs most.
• Don't just think about how many kills you can do with the tank.
• A card's goals are always more important than your kill-death ratio.
