Faction USSR

The Tesla tank was one of the most interesting units developed by the Soviets in Great World War II. Essentially, it was a mobile Tesla coil mounted on a mobile command center chassis, used as a support unit for main battle tanks such as the T-80.

The tank was reasonably fast (owing to its half-track design) and its weapon was effective against all targets. However, its advantages come at the price of high costs of manufacturing and maintenance as well as low resiliency under direct fire. Additionally, the weapon also had a long cooldown time required to recharge the capacitors, making it vulnerable in a combat situation with several opponents. These disadvantages, as well as the general disuse of Tesla coil weapons, led to the vehicle's discontinuation.
