Faster!
- Hopper Tank on the move

Fast, small and cheap to produce. A shrewd Chinese commander can scout the field ahead with these little blighters. Built in pairs, they can build up into a swarm relatively quickly.

Due to their compact size, they can't be fitted with the big guns found on their bigger cousins but packs of these can cause quite a headache for the enemy.

The upgrades drastically improve their combact effectiveness, making them more dangerous in the field and requiring the enemy to bring in tougher anti-tank weaponry to defeat them.

Tactics[]

Scout ahead! Use these fast tanks to cover ground quickly and see what your enemy is up to,their high speed allows them to evade unguided fire while on the move. Be careful with guided anti-tank weapons however as these tanks won't survive for long against them.

They can also be used to overwhelm bigger tanks and fully upgraded ones can put even the tough Manticore on its heels. The small price, and their paired deployment should help you build up swarms quickly and to gain the Horde effect.

Hopper Tanks should have nearby Gattling Tanks, and Twin Fangs, on standby whenever aircraft arrive to put them down.
