Tank

A Tank is a heavily armoured tracked military vehicle designed for front-line combat, with the primary purpose of engaging enemy forces with direct fire. Tanks are a key component of modern land warfare and play a crucial role in armoured warfare tactics.
== Overview ==
=== Light tank ===
A light tank is a type of armoured fighting vehicle designed for rapid manoeuvrability and reconnaissance missions. Light tanks prioritise speed, agility, and a small size over heavy armour and firepower. They are often equipped with relatively small-caliber main guns and light armour protection, making them vulnerable to enemy fire compared to heavier tanks. Light tanks are typically used for scouting, screening, and supporting infantry units in fast-moving offensive operations.
=== Medium tank ===
A medium tank is a versatile armoured fighting vehicle designed to balance mobility, firepower, and protection. Medium tanks are larger and more heavily armed and armoured than light tanks but smaller and more manoeuvrable than heavy tanks. They are often used as multipurpose vehicles capable of engaging enemy forces in a variety of combat roles, including infantry support, breakthrough operations, and exploitation of enemy weaknesses.
=== Heavy tank ===
A heavy tank is a large and powerful armoured fighting vehicle designed to deliver maximum firepower and protection on the battlefield. Heavy tanks prioritise armour durability and firepower over mobility, resulting in slower speeds and reduced manoeuvrability compared to lighter tanks. They are equipped with powerful main guns and thick armour plating, allowing them to withstand enemy fire and engage heavily fortified positions or enemy tanks directly.
=== Super-heavy tank ===
A super heavy tank is a behemoth of an armoured fighting vehicle designed to dominate the battlefield through sheer firepower and protection. Super heavy tanks are characterised by their immense size, weight, and armour, often exceeding that of other tank classes by a significant margin. They are equipped with extremely powerful main guns and substantial armour plating, making them nearly impervious to most forms of enemy fire. Super heavy tanks are rare and were historically developed to break through heavily fortified defensive lines or engage in direct combat with enemy super heavy tanks.
