Anti-tank warfare emerged from World War I necessities, where German forces pioneered weapons to counter early tanks. Infantry relied on tools like scaled-up rifles firing heavy cartridges to pierce thin armor, wreck engines, or harm crews inside. This DLC brings two unique fighters equipped with such anti-tank arms into the fray.
Players wield these specialized infantry units in massively multiplayer action on PC. The focus stays on anti-tank tactics rooted in historical doctrine, from rifles and grenades to mounted guns. Fans of indie free-to-play battles drawn to precise, era-inspired combat will find a direct match.
Anti-tank warfare arose as a result of the need to develop technology and tactics to destroy tanks during World War I. Since the first tanks were developed by the Triple Entente in 1916 but not operated in battle until 1917, the first anti-tank weapons were developed by the German Empire. The first developed anti-tank weapon was a scaled-up bolt-action rifle, the Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr that fired a 13mm cartridge with a solid bullet that could penetrate the thin armor of tanks of the time and destroy the engine or ricochet inside killing occupants. Because tanks represent an enemy's greatest force projection on land, anti-tank warfare has been incorporated into the doctrine of nearly every combat service since. Most predominant anti-tank weapons at the start of World War II were the tank-mounted gun, anti-tank guns and anti-tank grenades used by the infantry as well as ground-attack aircraft.
The DLS contains 2 unique fighters with anti-tank weapons.
