Official description

v2.x

Apart from aircrafts and expansion of cybernetics, a whole new technology was incorporated into Soviet arsenal just after they captured the Chinese republic. After a lot of researches, Soviets pushed chinese electromagnetic research forward in order to design a weapon which forces enemy units to stop. Infectors are perfect support units, excellent for stopping sudden unit assaults (like Epsilon Driller ambushes, Master Mind attacks or Chrono Prison assaults) but using them, make sure you don't have any enemy infantry around, as this tank cannot survive assault of any enemy troops - it doesn't have anti-personnel weaponry. This unit generates also a specific kind of waves which detect cloaked units.

v1.2

New technology has been developed by Soviet armies comrade! After a lot of researches, Soviets created electromagnetic weapon which forces enemy units down, stopping their engines or infecting work of it, so affected unit will become slower and slower. With EM beam it may also badly damage any structure installations. Using Infectors, make sure you don't have any infantry around, as this tank cannot attack them.
