The Universal Tank is the heavy unit from the Postmodern Era. It is trained in a Universal Tank Factory, but it cannot be obtained from Story Quests.

Compared to the Battle Tank, the Universal tank upgrades massively in attack, although the upgrades in defense and movement is little and the range stays the same. Bonuses against fast and ranged units are also increased slightly as well. This is the very first Heavy Unit that has higher attack values than defense values, and if that isn't enough, it obtains an attack bonus on plains and has the highest attack and defense of the Postmodern Era.

Usage[]

The Universal tank is devastating against fast and ranged units, even in the Contemporary Era. Their high attack too can easily damage enemy units, even light and artillery units (which have defense bonuses against them). Their movement and range combined makes them also a very manoeuvrable unit like the Battle Tank before it.

Against Same Age Units[]

Ranged UnitMG Team[]

The Universal Tank is extremely strong against the MG Team. The Universal Tank has much better movement than the MG Team, and can easily reach and kill them in two hits. Even though the Universal Tank cannot escape their retaliation, the MG Team will struggle to do meaningful damage to them back.

Fast UnitIFV[]

The Universal Tank is extremely strong against the IFV. Both units have very good mobility and range, but the Universal Tank has much stronger attack and defense with their bonuses against fast units.

Light UnitCommando[]

The Commando has the advantage of bonuses against heavy units when facing the Universal Tank, but they are often limited by having a low range and low defense. The Commando is not too big of a threat if they are exposed and cannot reach the Universal Tank, as the Universal Tank has very high attack and can still deal considerable damage to them. However, the Commando is a significant threat to the Universal Tank if they are hit, and may prove annoying and dangerous to the Universal Tank if they are hidden in Forests.

Artillery UnitRocket Artillery[]

The Universal Tank is often weak against the Rocket Artillery, especially as their attack and bonuses against heavy units are increased, though their substandard attack and defense can sometimes limit their effectiveness against the Universal Tank. Meanwhile, the good mobility and range of the Universal Tank means that they do not pose too much of a threat to them, unless the terrain between them is rough.
