These heavily-armored units will attacks defensive buildings, distracting them at close range while your other troops do the damage.

The Tank, specifically the Renault FT(-17) Tank; is a level 6 armo(u)red Heavy Cavalry troop unlocked in the Industrial Age. Its predecessor is the Cuirassier. It is researched in a level 8 blacksmith.

General Information

  • Like previous Heavy Cavalry units, tanks are the mounted front runners among all troops. Their default behavior is to seek and destroy defenses. With a large amount of hitpoints, they can endure more than any other troop of their age, as well as dealing a lot of damage before falling. However, their disadvantages is that they have low damage and can be killed easily by Anti-Tank Guns.

Attacking Strategies

  • Tanks have a lot of health but are slow and have low attack power, so use them in groups.
  • Tanks are weak against many defenses grouped together.
  • When pushing for trophies, you would need to destroy the Town Center. In many bases, the town center would be in the center of the base. First, train up an army of tanks and a wall breacher such as a engineer. When attacking, deploy your engineer and wait till it destroys the necessary walls. Then, deploy all your tanks in the areas which the Town Center is more close to. If there are a few defenses blocking the way, destroy them. Then rally your tanks to destroy the Town Center.
  • Tanks would ignore defensive troops and would pursue their targets which are defensive buildings. However, if a defensive troop attacks the tank, the tank will attack back until the defensive troop is killed; thus making the tank distracted. Try to use and deploy ranged infantry such as riflemen or heavy infantry such as shock infantry after deploying the tanks to eliminate the defensive troops.

Defensive Strategies 

  • Tanks are a good alliance troop due to its high health; making it longer to kill them.
  • The Reinforcements technology in the Library spawns tanks in the forest and they attack troops of the attacker.

Trivia

  • The Renault FT Tank is one of two troops that is used by both the North European, Mediterranean, and the Oriental. The other troop is the M4 Sherman Medium Tank.
