Tailgator

The Tailgator is a Tier 3 tank that branches from the Inceptioner and the Pounder at level 30.

Design
The Tailgator has a circular base and a barrel similar to the Pounder's but is a bit shorter and has a decorative auto-gun poking out the end of the barrel.

Technical
The Tailgator shoots Pounder bullets that have an auto-turret on top. Its bullets have good damage and speed, though they cause less recoil than the Pounder.

Against the Tailgator

 * The Tailgator does not easily survive an attack from more than one side.
