Changes: Tank Destroyer

Revision as of 08:42, 11 September 2012

This article is a stub. It is short and in need of fortification. Why not help out?

This article is currently under construction. It may contain little or inaccurate information.

A tank destroyer is a vehicle designed to engage enemy armor. Much how artillery crews are mobilized as mobile artillery vehicles, anti-tank guns that were formerly towed or emplaced could now move across the battlefield under their own power.

Tank destroyers of the WWII era were typically tracked vehicles with heavy armor, while modern designs are often adapted from infantry fighting vehicles.

Appearance in games

Battlefield 1942

Many of the vehicles classified in-game as heavy tanks can be considered tank destroyers:

Battlefield 3

The Armored Kill expansion pack adds tank destroyers to the vehicle lineup:

Tank destroyers in BF3 perform like a hybrid of an IFV and MBT. The size, speed, and passenger capacity is like an IFV. They are the smallest armored vehicles while being extremely quick. They hold five people; one is on the main cannon, while the other four each get a seat with a Machine Gun. It is like an MBT due to its large caliber cannon with explosive rounds. The unlocks mainly reflect those of an MBT, but it also gets the ATGM Launcher like IFVs. It also gets its own unlock through the Explosive Danger assignment; Cannon HE is an alternate cannon with a large explosive radius.
