Spreadshot

The  is a Tier 4 tank that upgrades from Artillery, Harasser, Spreading, and Triple Shot at level 45.

Design
The has a circular body and eleven guns in total: one, average-size primary gun and ten smaller guns, five spread out on each side. The farther the smaller guns are from the main one, the shorter they get.

Technical
The fires with a large angle with its multitude of guns. It does not have a very fast rate of fire. Only one pair of guns fires at a time, in a outwards-fanning pattern. Once the pattern reaches the end barrels, the central barrel fires again. Its primary bullets are stronger than its secondary bullets, which are smaller and weaker.

As the

 * The also severely lacks in focused fire.

Against the

 * Do not underestimate the damage that the 's secondary bullets can deal.
