Common Enemies

Common enemies appear in large numbers in survival and adventure mode.

## Ground

#### Rat

   A scouting tank with decent speed and good fire-rate, but the armor is so poor that a single well placed shot from most any cannon will quickly turn it into scrap.

#### Flakk Jeep

   One of the very few wheeled vehicles out there, Flak Jeeps are armed with quad machine guns that can rack up some good damage. What the drivers like to do is huddle down in a certain spot and just keep on firing, which can make a Flak jeep difficult to approach in certain situations. In those cases you should simply back away, tricking the Flak jeep into advancing and exposing itself to your guns.

#### Hunchback

   Armed with a high mounted mortar, the Hunchback shoots a burst of 2 shells that fly in a heavy arc. They can be tricky to deal with especially if they're behind a hill where they can safely shoot you, but you can't hit them.

#### Tiger

    A heavyweight vehicle usually reserved for enemy generals, the Tiger sports higher armor and good damage, but can't really shoot over hilly terrain. Snipe from afar or use the terrain to your advantage if possible.

#### Sturm

The Sturm fires large grenades that bounce off terrain and have a long fuse. It's possible to use your tank's body to push away it's grenade before it detonates, or even send it back towards the Sturm.

#### Pike

    The enemy equivalent of the Barracuda, with which it shares many properties: most effective at long range, can safely shoot over hills and is most vulnerable up close. With certain tanks, driving right up in the Pike's face will render it unable to hit you with it's missiles.

#### Laserfin

A powerful tank deployed only on extraterrestrial battlefields. Heavy Armor, Good speed and a rapid fire laser cannon, the Laserfin should be approached with increased caution.

#### Locust

A powerful walker first deployed during operation "Clash on Titan". The Locust is equipped with very thick armor, it's attack consists of 3 balls of purple plasma that fly in a heavy arc and can deal serious damage. Once fatal damage has been dealt to it's body, it's weapons and back part will fall off and reveal a Mancticore drone that will charge down the player. The testament from pilots combined with the blurry photo evidence suggest that the pilots of these monstrositites are alien of origin. The thought that the enemy is on cooperative terms with extraterrestrials is a troubling one.

#### Manticore

A rare un-piloted vehicle, the Manticore possesses no ranged weaponry whatsoever, instead relying on it's devastating stinger to tear apart tanks. It is advised to engage the Manticore Drone at a distance, given that a single sting can take a large chunk of your health away, but that's easier said than done given the drone's swift speed.

## Flying

#### Tomahawk

Slower than a bomber but better armored, Tomahawk helicopters are equipped with heavy gatling guns. The guns take a moment to spin up, which you can abuse by driving past the helicopter and thus away from the gun's range. As with all flyers, positioning yourself correctly on a hill's incline will greatly aid in shooting it down.

#### Boomer

Fast moving aircraft that drops several bombs once above a target. The armor on these things is essentially nonexistent, the idea likely being that they'd move too fast to be hit, which is very much false.

#### Lazer Pod

These pods slowly fly through the air and occasionally charge up a laser, they have two main variants: one that fires a vertical laser and one that fires a horizontal one. They are fairly tough, but their damage is mostly negligible, so Lazer Pods are typically just an annoyance rather than an active threat. Given their size, you'd assume these things are un-piloted drones, but you'd be wrong, and you'd be right to feel sorry for the no-doubt cramped conditions their pilots must endure.

#### Saucer

Exactly what it says on the tin, Flying saucers with powerful laser guns bolted on top of them. Overall they act a lot like helicopters aside from the different weaponry, the lasers take a bit to warm up and fire and the damage they deal can be quite severe, staying on the move should protect you from getting hit. It can be argued that the appearance of these goofy things started what many soldiers would call "Sci-fi era"
