The plasma beam on the Hovertank/Plasma is not any more powerful than the laser on the Tank/Laser Cannon.Numbers in parenthesis are the actual values after modified by the chassis' abilities. In Terror from the Deep, the Displacer /Sonic is the equivalent.ġ200 Engineer hours, 30 Elerium-115 and 5 Alien Alloys This weapons system is used in UFO: Enemy Unknown. However, thanks to the nature of tanks and the merits of the Hovertank/Plasma, many commanders are compelled to have one accompany their troops on every mission.
The research requirements of the tank mean that, by the time the hovertank becomes available, commanders will typically have access to high-tech armor and alien weapons, making the hovertank less competitive with well-equipped soldiers. However, its plasma weapon and generous ammunition supply allow it to blast open pathways when required. Like all tanks, its larger size precludes it from moving into confined spaces. Finally, the plasma bolt is 5 points weaker than the man-portable Heavy Plasma, reducing its effectiveness at breaching walls. Primarily it lacks auto-fire, and furthermore the aimed-shot costs too much for a minor accuracy gain. It is limited to 255 charges during the course of a single battle, but is otherwise fully recharged between battles. The plasma beam mounted on the Hovertank is powerful and its Elerium power source powers the cannon indefinitely. In fact, there is only one weak point on the chassis – its underside – and even this weak spot is more resilient than the main armor of the standard tank. The hovertank chassis's armor is stronger than the standard tank's, and more uniformly distributed. In addition to its ability to hover, it can move over 50% faster.
The hovertank is superior in both armor and agility to the standard tracked chassis, while mounting a powerful plasma cannon turret.
#Faqt hover tank free#
I decided to post my experience because I could not find a complete guide to get hover tank, feel free to ask me questions.The plasma hovertank leverages off Firestorm technology and vehicle-mounted plasma weapons to provide a small, airborne weapons platform of unsurpassed mobility. Right now, I have the quest to get hover tank which I will get done in 8hours. During the quest Taking Botuku where you must scout the next two provinces, I followed the advice from u/RavenZen on this post in order to get the hover tank quest. I did not go further ahead once I was in the FE quest line. Having only one research available left, I had to move to CE era in order to get hover tank.ĭoing these quests, I cleared out the map as the quest asked me. But before reaching hover tank, there are two quests in FE (Even more cyber Attacks) and (Investigations) that requires you to research a technology. Skipping TE quest line, I don’t know if you must do any ‘technology related quest’. In the ME tech tree, I managed to save 1 research and another one in the PME tech tree. In the PE quest line, there’s a quest (Madman’s Mayhem) in which you must research a technology. The last quest from CE (the king of the desert) is skippable if you don’t scout the right sector on the CE map. After I was done with CE quest line, I somehow skipped all the TE quest and ended up with Hot land quest (1st FE) after the quest A Shielk’s Gratitude (second to last from CE). I then aged up from PE to ME and did the most quest I could before going to PME.
At the time, I was in progressive era with a research tree maxed out.įollowing the guide from a German forum that I got from u/chimla on my previous post, I conquered the maps from CE and TE all the way to the 5th province in FE (Pala). With that in mind, I conquered all the maps until I reached CE. First of all, you have to reach PME to get hover tank because the main quest line asks you to get the two-last research of that age.
