Summary
This video game is the sequel to Super Battletank, and the player controls a M1A2 Battletank.[3] There are 16 missions, all located in the Middle East.[3] Using radar, the player must scout out groups of enemy tanks and use the primary turret to take out infantrymen, Jeeps, SCUD missiles, and armored personnel carriers.[3] The Phalanx machine gun is used to take down enemy air threats like helicopters. Smoke screens can make the player temporarily invisible to enemy radar; turning them into a major threat.[3] Players can also summon threats from the sky in the form of supply drops and airstrikes.[3]
