Talk:Tank Robot

Health information

The health listed here should be tied to mission, not map. Seeing as there are 3 missions per map. - Devozade 04:49, 19 August 2012 (PDT)

Should Tank-based achievements be listed here? Wayn3w 14:37, 19 August 2012 (PDT)

Yes, under a "Related Achievements" heading. ~Sven~ 14:43, 19 August 2012 (PDT)

Taunt Kills

What taunt kills can damage the tank? So far the only taunts I seen damage one is Kamikaze and Execution (however I only think it was the flare hitting the tank as if it was a normal flare) Sarcasm 18:41, 19 August 2012 (PDT)

Shooting the wheels on the side of the tank will deal slightly more damage than shooting it from the front, but may be more unsafe if there are other robots in the wave.

Removed this line as it isnt true. I welcome you to test it in your own listen servers or games.

The tracks stick out somewhat, which will lessen falloff depending on where you are shooting the tank from, but that =/= the above. JimmyDeSouza 19:02, 19 August 2012 (PDT)

Inspired by...

Hi, I think the design of the tank has a few clear influences, does that stuff belong in the wiki? The classic evil "truck from Duel"(search that) can be seen in the grille and lights and so on.

To me the half sphere robotic 'driver' references the way R2 units in Star Wars sit in a vehicle like the xwing and pilot/co-pilot.

There are probably lots of tanks this one looks like but interestingly search for tank r2 and you will find a Romanian tank variant named TACAM R2, which looks quite similar. cheers Uneffect 05:37, 21 August 2012 (PDT)

I'd say that comes under the heading of speculation. It's interesting, but it's all down to personal interpretation, so it's best not to include it unless we get a specific statement from someone at Valve saying "It's meant to be X". dendodge 05:40, 21 August 2012 (PDT)
