What it is
Plasma tank has the official description “The robots' main battle tank, powered by gravity. The best of its kind.” The words “The best of its kind” belong to that description, not to a verified comparison. It costs 350 minerals and 20 supply in demo build 23882143. The archived configuration lacks a linked combat prefab, so weapon damage, armour and movement cannot be established through it. Gravity propulsion is described, but a name does not supply a movement measurement. Compare Seeker and Heavy liner for their intended roles, and reserve any judgement about superiority for supported combat evidence.
Where it comes from
The Plasma turret description includes “Constant pure damage burns away any armor”, while build 23882143 separately records Plasma tank’s role as the robots’ main battle tank. Sharing a plasma name does not link their weapons or prove that the tank uses the turret’s described damage behaviour. Seeker also mentions gravity propulsion, but the wording cannot establish a shared movement component. These descriptions preserve intended roles without explaining design changes. Read the turret page for its own evidence and avoid importing its armour claim into the tank.
How it is actually used
Plasma tank uses 20 supply. Old tank at 140 minerals and Desolator at 900 offer price context, but their faction, role and weapons differ. The comparison cannot identify which vehicle buys more survivability or damage without Plasma tank’s own combat data. A similar supply cost to Heavy liner also does not establish similar movement or protection. Before committing production, compare the jobs that the official descriptions name and leave a practical efficiency judgement open until the tank’s weapon and prefab are supported.
How to beat it
The unresolved issue is a numerical counter to a main battle tank whose combat prefab is not linked. The earlier reading dated 31 August 2026 does not prove that it cannot be fought, nor explain whether the missing link was deliberate. Its promotional description cannot replace armour, damage or firing-range evidence. Shared wording with Seeker and Plasma turret does not supply those measurements either. Read the vehicle comparisons for documented attacks, and keep any claim about this tank’s survival or defeat conditional on evidence specific to it.
