Of course, there are also the tanks. Five make their appearance. To be more precise, there are three tanks and two heavy tank-destroyers. America has its venerable Sherman with the 75mm gun, Germany has the Pz IVH and Russia has its T-34 with the 85mm gun and corresponding turret. However, despite the historical differences between the tanks, for purposes of game balance they've been made identical. They fire the same shot which has probably the same power as the Panzerfaust, though it flies much faster and straighter. They have perfectly similar armor and speed. Thus, the differences are merely cosmetic. The three tanks can have a second crew member who mans the top heavy machine gun, and as additional defense against infantry they have light machine guns installed in the turret. This gun is activated by hitting the melee attack key. Besides the three main tanks, there are two heavy tank destroyers. The Soviets are armed with the SU-152, technically an assault gun, but in the game it does serve as a tank destroyer. This huge lumbering beast, like its German counterpart the Elefant, has no turret but a devastatingly powerful gun, unmatched armor and is incredibly slow. Infantry armed with anti-tank weapons are the worst nightmare of these two titans since they have almost no defense against them, as they have no turret to turn quickly and machinegun down the infantry - though they do have a forward-facing machine gun, nor do they have the option of a top machine gunner.
