The Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) tank was a tank fielded by the Soviet forces in the end of the Great World War II. It used seismic waves to damage building and vehicles. It had a very large area of effect and dealt a large amount of damage to all targets. Its was also indiscriminate and would harm all target regardless of faction allegiance. Infantry were immune to its effects and took no damage at any range from the blast.
The tank would begin by starting a large pump on its back that would continue to increase in speed with each repetition. The single crew member would bail out and remove himself from the area. The repetitions would get faster and faster until the tank finally exploded and released seismic waves.
The effects of the explosion did not vary: any vehicles, ships, and aircraft (even flying aircraft) in a large area around the MAD Tank (approximately the same area as a nuclear blast, a 10-tile radius) took damage equivalent to 45% of their maximum hitpoints, while structures in the same area took 40% damage. As a result, provided no time for significant repairs between detonations, three MAD Tanks can actually destroy absolutely any non-infantry unit outright. As they can crush infantry anyway, these are rather dangerous vehicles.
It should be noted that they cannot detonate while under the effects of the Iron Curtain.
After the war, the tanks were decommissioned and research concerning them destroyed.
