Tank destroyerTD
The ambush class: high penetration and damage from a fixed or limited arc, usually with strong concealment and thin sides.
Also known as TD, tank destroyers, sniper.
Tank destroyers deal the heaviest damage per shot in the game and are the least able to defend themselves once caught. Most have no turret, so anything that reaches their flank is unanswerable.
They play from concealment down a covered lane, or as armored assault vehicles at the front of a push, depending entirely on which branch they come from. What they share is that they need somebody else to spot for them.
