    Were these a terror before the 1.001.100 patch? I didn’t encounter them since I was only playing level 6. Was it like trying to extract while in range of a mortar emplacement?

      A bit worse, the missile precision is better and there are 3 missiles per salvo; additionally, they move and they can shoot in a straight line AND, unlike with the two other tanks, you’re still perfectly unsafe if you get close and prone.

      Couple all that with the fact that mortar shells really have to hit you dead-on to one-shot you, while the tank’s missile have ~ double the AoE and knockback. Supposedly they nerfed them a bit, but I can’t tell the difference from three weeks ago.

      The rockets are much slower moving and a lot easier to see compared to mortars, and a single orbital strike or thermite is all it takes to destroy them
