Auto-Cruiser

The Auto-Cruiser is a Tier 4 tank that upgrades from Cruiser, Auto-Twin, Auto-Pelleter and Chairman at Level 60.

Design
The Auto-Cruiser has a circular body with a pair of trapezoidal Cruiser drone spawners in front. It has an auto-turret on top of its body with a single barrel.

Technical
Like the Cruiser, the Auto-Cruiser wields smaller and faster swarm drones. These swarm drones must be actively fired, are also weaker, and die after a set amount of time after being fired.

The Auto-Cruiser has an auto turret automatically targets nearby enemies and fires fast yet weak bullets at a fast pace, like other auto-turrets.

As the Auto-Cruiser

 * Try to always continuously fire so you aren't caught off-guard with no drones to defend yourself with.
 * The mobile nature of swarm drones and the means the Auto-Cruiser can easily undermine tanks with strong frontal defenses like the Rotary Shield and the Blaster. Its auto turret will uselessly shoot into the defenses though, so you must manually manipulate your swarms to avoid them.
 * Your auto turret can help pressure enemies from the front while you maneuver your drones around them.

Against the Auto-Cruiser

 * Swarm drones are relatively weak but can deal a lot of damage if you are overrun by them.
 * The angle of the Auto-Cruiser's guns makes it vulnerable to enemies who are very close to you, as its swarm drones will be forced to go backwards and push the enemy even closer towards you.
 * The Auto-Cruiser's auto turret will continuously notify it of any nearby enemy or shape, so be careful when ambushing it.
