General Information
The laser cannon tank uses a replica of the same tracked tank chassis used by the rocket and cannon tanks. Therefore it suffers the same limitations as the two earlier tanks.
The laser tank is vastly superior in that it has a high powered variation of the heavy laser as a turret. It is more powerful and efficient than the handheld variant. However, unlike the handheld, it comes with a generous but limited supply of ammunition.
It is unfortunate that by the time the laser tank becomes available, Commanders will already have almost immediate access to the plasma hovertank which is a much more superior tank. Resources-wise, the laser tank is cheaper and easier to produce than the plasma hovertank as it is not reliant on any exotic alien materials. The choice between the two tanks then becomes a quantity versus quality issue. Laser tanks make better sacrificial tanks than hovertanks in general due to the costs involved.
In summary, the Laser Tank is a cheap and moderately powerful tank.

Notes
- Tank/Heavy Lasers have the strongest Laser weapons in the game. This can have all the difference on Ethereal Alien Base Attacks on harder difficulty levels.
