—Lasher Tank |
The Lasher Light Tank is the main battle tank of the Epsilon Empire/PsiCorps in versions 2.0 and 1.2, respectively.
Official description[]
v2.0[]
Recently considered to be replaced with less conventional prototype of a basic tank, but the projects of a turretless psychic tank failed when Epsilon scientists were reminded about a small amount of vehicles that are able to enter inside a Tank Bunker. The only way to enhance basic tank divisions was to upgrade the Lasher. Though armor of this tank and its firepower is highly disappointing for most of Epsilon commanders it still finds great use, especially in wide battlefields where Epsilon force has to move quickly and ambush enemies. Lasher is the fastest of all basic anti-armor tanks and in large groups it is a threat to be reckoned with.[1]
v1.2[]
The Lasher Tanks are the primary armor piercing units of PsiCorps. Even they are much weaker than Soviet Rhinos or Allied Grizzly, they can be very useful because of their speed. Only light vehicles and chase forces can reach them while escaping from enemy fire. Additionally, large groups of these tanks can inflict serious damage to Yuri's enemies. PsiCorps decided to upgrade this unit a little, it can now use its anti-infantry wheels at the front more intelligent [sic] to crush enemy soldiers.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- A variant called the Lasher Hovercraft is a unit only obtainable from crates by chance, worthing $900. It is amphibious and functions the same as a regular Lasher Tank does otherwise (see gallery).
