Description:
The Patton tank is a deadly new machine, a completely new design not based on any other medium tank. Well, medium as far as tanks go, that is. The Patton is the brother design of the Rommel, an ironic twist on history. As far as designs go, the two tanks are very similar. The Patton depends more upon it's armor then the Rommel.
The Patton is a medium-ranged tank, best suited for en-masse attacks- they're not meant to challenge Battlemechs directly. They are often used for mobile defense, making use of advantageous terrain, as well as urban combat. As with all tanks, the Patton enjoys a small profile on the battlefield, making it a bit difficult for some mechs to hit; and also, making it an effective rammer.
