Even in its own turf, it faces challenges: ground vehicles like the Recon Bike and the Stealth Tank can take a chance at winning against a Medium Tank in superior numbers, speed or stealth, while flying vehicles like GDI Orcas and Nod Apaches can fight Medium Tanks without fear of retaliation from its antitank cannon. Infantry like the Rocket Soldier are far too difficult to aim at and kill with cannons, and many base defenses such as the GDI Advanced Guard Tower and the Nod Obelisk of Light are far too strong to be brought down with just an antitank cannon. In unconventional warfare, the Medium Tank performs miserably against targets that are too effective to deal with, relying only on the same defining characteristics of a main battle tank to survive: speed, protection and firepower. The GDI Medium Tank is only a specialist. This tank's cannon fares better than Nod's counterpart as it can shoot further and have larger barrel to boot (depend on the terrain)

Due to its protection level and crew training, sometimes a crew may survive the destruction of the tank (albeit not in his/her best condition) and ready to continue fighting. All-in-all, the GDI Medium Tank is a champion of mechanized warfare (after Mammoth tank). Given its firepower and protection, the Medium Tank's also serves as an decent fire support platform against base defenses that do not have antitank warfare in mind like enemy GDI gun-based Guard Towers and Nod SAM Sites. Priced at only $ 800, The Medium Tank is best suited at fighting most vehicles and is still capable of maintaining its effectiveness even late into a arms-racing skirmish. Superior to almost all Nod armor, the Medium Tank is incredibly durable, powerful and cost-friendly for its class, outperforming Nod's heaviest combat vehicles, the Light Tank and the Flame Tank, in a one-on-one match while also possessing acceptable speed. It is the backbone of GDI's armored divisions in Tiberian Dawn. The Medium Tank is a workhorse combat vehicle, armed with a single 105 mm cannon, firing APDS shells. I medium battle walker, only to return again to cost-effective tank technology in the Third Tiberium War. Nod deployed few medium tanks compared to its series of light tanks.Īfter the First Tiberium War, GDI replaced the Medium Tank with the Titan Mk. It features a low profile, a high power 105 mm cannon and heavy armour.

The tank visually resembles the American M1 Abrams.
