Description:
The Rommel 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 Rommel is the brother design of the Patton, an ironic twist on history. As far as design goes, the two tanks are very similar. The Rommel depends more upon it's weaponry then the Patton.
The Rommel 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 Rommel enjoys a small profile on the battlefield, making it a bit difficult for some mechs to hit; and also, making it an effective rammer.
