The Chrono Tank was an experimental Allied vehicle that entered service Second World War.
[edit] Background
This tank was, essentially, a Chronosphere on wheels. The tank was armed with two missile launchers that were generally effective against tanks and structures. But the tank had another unique ability: It could chronoshift itself to a desired location once its chronosphere had fully charged up. This highly mobility was however offset by low durability and the chrono tank was generally not a match in a straight fight with main battle tanks. It was deployed on the battlefield very rarely.
Chrono tanks, due to their special ability, if used well could really have turned the tide of a battle. They could chronoshift anywhere and en mass, due to the fact each chronosphere was indipendent. Additionally, the chronosphere would not take them back to their precedent location, unlike the standard Chronosphere. Also, this Chronosphere did not cause [[Chrono Vortex]es. While the tank had fairly low armor the firepower was quite decent and it could win a fight against an already damaged heavy tank. An often used tactic was to send a group of chrono tanks right in the soviet enemy base, to destroy its power supply, allowing other units such as Medium tanks to enter the base without getting shot by Tesla coils.
Some of the most important deployments of the Chrono tanks were in Italy: these include the destruction of a Soviet Harbor in North Italy. They were also deployed to destroy the Soviet Sub Pen that was producing the earliest missile subs, in South Italy. Some of them helped an allied strike force to rescue Albert Einstein and some other scientists again in center italy.
Chrono tanks were also deployed against a Soviet nuclear missile facility. The tanks destroyed the radar dome and forward SAM defenses, clearing the way for the arrival of Tanya Adams and an MCV.
[edit] Game Unit
There is a recharge period before the tank can chronoshift again. This is represented by color boxes when the unit is selected. Unlike the chronoshift of the Chronosphere the tank will not automatically revert to its pre-chronoshift position.
