It's a shame how this tank doesn't have more ship-based upgrades... Or upgrades at all!

The Steamboat is a Tier 3 tank that upgrades from the Propeller at level 30.

Design

The Steamboat has a circular body with an average-size gun in front, two small guns on its sides, and two small thruster barrels on its back. Overall, it resembles a miniature Fighter.

Technical

Like the Propeller, the Steamboat fires average-power bullets from its main gun. Its side guns fire slightly smaller bullets that have the same health and damage as the front gun. Its two thruster guns fire much weaker bullets that are used to propel the tank forward.

Strategy

As the Steamboat

• Don't be afraid to use your side bullets to attack enemies, as they have just as much power as your front gun.
• Use your mobility to your advantage and rush at immobile sniper and drone tanks. Evade slow-moving, high-damage bullets from tanks like the Destroyer.
• You can employ many of the same strategies that apply to its direct upgrade, the Fighter. However, beware that it is slower and its side bullets are a bit weaker than the Fighter itself.

Against the Steamboat

• The Steamboat's bullets are not very tanky and can easily be outpenetrated.
• If your tank is vulnerable to the Steamboat and has an increased FoV, make sure to keep an eye out for them so you can avoid them.
• It may be helpful to let the Propeller come closer to you in order to ensure you can kill it before it flees, if you have strong firepower.
