As the Dreadnought

 * drones don't deal a lot of damage and are easily penetrated by bullet spammers. Looks like you do have something to dread.
 * To prevent this, upgrade Bullet Penetration/Health so your stronger normal drones can make contact.
 * Otherwise, prey on low-firepower tanks that can't protect themselves in time.
 * Upgrade Bullet Damage/Speed to hopefully one-shot other tanks, and Movement Speed to quickly retreat if you fail.
 * Use this tank similarly to the . That is, the bullet point above.
 * Smasher, ramming, and Lance tanks are dangerous. Movement Speed comes in handy here.
 * If you know that you are terrible with aiming and accuracy (you're not alone), turn Autofire off so that the swarm drones go distract and the others attack anything that gets too close, like a hungry.
 * With your higher-than-the- FOV, fight any unsuspecting or preoccupied tanks you see.

Against the Dreadnought

 * Use high-firepower tanks like bullet spammers or to kill drones.
 * branch is horrible against drones though. Avoid and yes, do dread.
 * is the best ramming tank for the job, followed by . Other rammers are great but may face trouble with the Autofire-off strategy if they're smart.
 * Lance tanks are a hard counter against Dreadnought, but beware the Autofire-off strategy as well. Other than those few smart people, you're fine.
 * Always be on the alert for a surprise attack. Dread the Dreadnought, wow that's a contradiction.

Trivia

 * Dread is the feeling somebody experiences when they're nervous about an upcoming event.
