Type 32 Nekomata

The Type 32 Nekomata PAC Hover Tank is a Russian/Chinese main battle tank and the principal armoured tank of the Pan-Asian Coalition. It appears in Battlefield 2142.

Description
Utilizing state-of-the-art, air-assisted levitation technology, the Type 32 Nekomata hover tank is the very latest in armored combat, boasting unmatched mobility across almost any topography. Similar to the A-8 Tiger, the Nekomata incorporates NxRA technology into its composite armor base and uses an Active Defence System to ward off high impact, airborne weapon attacks. It also matches the A-8's attack capabilities with a driver-controlled cannon and second position repeater.

The Nekomata is still very different to the Tiger. It does not have a rotational cannon, which it always forwards firing, and it is capable of strafing. It can cross terrain slightly better than the A-8 can and is capable of moving slightly faster as well.

Because of the differences to the 'standard' form of tank seen with the A-8, the Nekomata is disliked by many players due to the learning curve needed to utilise it properly. However it can easily outmatch an A-8 if its strafing abilities are used correctly.
