¶ Intro
Heavy Tanks are the backbone of armoured warfare when maximum protection and firepower are required. Equipped with thick armour and a powerful main cannon capable of destroying vehicles of all sizes and breaching heavily fortified pillboxes, they dominate in direct engagements.
Although they suffer from slow reload times and limited mobility, Heavy Tanks excel as defensive tank destroyers and as spearheads in heavily armoured assaults.

¶ Tips and Examples
Heavy Tanks are formidable in both armament and armor, making them excellent for offensive pushes against fortified positions. However, their slow reload and limited mobility leave them vulnerable if overwhelmed by multiple threats. When used defensively, they can serve as devastating tank destroyers and the armored core of any spearhead.
