Kivaaritehdas

The Kivaaritehdas  is a tier 5 tank that upgrades from the Revolutionist at level 60.

Design
The Kivaaritehdas looks very similar to the Revolutionist, with the only difference being that the turrets and rings are orange.

Technical
The Kivaaritehdas has a single barrel with firepower identical to the Basic. It also has a ring around it with 2 orange turrets spinning around it, like the Revolutionist. Upon right-clicking, the Kivaaritehdas launches the ring, which is a regional. The regional deals damage to polygons. The regional's turrets will continue to fire while it is launched. The regional acts like a boomerang, stopping in place for a bit if the cursor is very close to the tank, and eventually returning. Once the regional's lifetime expires, it will reattach to the tank, even if it is still far away. If the regional is destroyed, it will instantly reappear on the tank. This can allow for rapid firing of the regional if right click is held and it is repeatedly destroyed soon after firing.

Upgrades
The Kivaaritehdas upgrades from the Revolutionist at level 60. It does not upgrade any further.

As the Kivaaritehdas

 * Use the Kivaaritehdas’s regional to yeet tanks outside your FoV. The auto-turrets will finish them off. Landing a direct hit with the regional will usually deal a good chunk of damage


 * You can use the regional as a rather effective shield against bullets, due to it's large size, decent durability, and rapid refire time. This can be key against bullet spammers.
 * If a tank gets close to you, spam your regional into them. It will deal good damage and knockback, and can even kill rammers quickly.
 * Don't miss your regional if you are trying to hit tanks directly with it. You will have to wait for it to return to launch it again.

Against the Kivaaritehdas

 * Watch out for the Kivaaritehdas’s regional. The turrets are still shooting at you.
 * As a bullet spammer, It may actually be beneficial to stop firing for a bit and dodge the regional, letting it pass you. This will prevent the Kivaaritehdas from spamming the regional to block your bullets.
 * Do not get too close to the Kivaaritehdas. It will spam it's regional into your tank, dealing heavy damage. It is difficult to outpenetrate the regional spam at close range

Trivia

 * There is a misconception among new players that the orange color indicates that the turrets are actually shields.
 * This tank and Valtion share the same name origin, as they're named after a Finnish firearms manufacturing company called "Valtion Kivääritehdas".
 * Strangely, the ring part of the regional turns black when it is detached from the tank.
