Category:Bird Tanks

 are tanks that use barrels from Tier 1 or Tier 2 tanks on the front of them, while having a modified set of -like thrusters on the back. A signature of this type of tank is that their front cannons gain alt fire, while mainfire only controls the thrusters. As expected, they all have Forwards Recoil and can generally be reached somewhere in Tri-Angle branch and from the Flank version of their frontal guns. They are usually named after birds reflecting their specification and giving this category its unofficial name, although there are some exceptions such as the.

There are cases like Basin and Mountain Man who are indirectly Bird Tanks and just branch from bird Tanks due to being the only possible branch between them.

The general terminology for this category is "Bird-[base tank]". For example, the can be described as a Bird-Sniper or a Sniper-Bird but the latter is less favored due to sounding like Sniper-brid. Usually though, you will hear stuff like "[tank] with bird thrusters", as it is less confusing and it just makes more sense.
