In Counterstrike, it appears in both sides' campaign, but is not normally build-able in Skirmish and multiplayer modes, as are none of the other Counterstrike-specific special units. The Tesla tank only appears in the two expansion packs of Red Alert, Counterstrike and The Aftermath and the PlayStation exclusive Retaliation, which includes the two expansion packs. They were also used by the Soviets to destroy the Chrono tank prototypes and to defend the base near the Super tank testing grounds, among other deployments.Īfter the war a new version of the tank was developed but it was not widely deployed.
Tesla tanks were also present in Siberia to defend the nuclear production facilities. Some important operations where Tesla tanks were present included the protection of the Sarin nerve gas facilities, the destruction of the Allied MiG prototype.
Both however performed almost identically, with the first version having less armor but more firepower than the second one. The second was notably bigger and saw more deployments. Two versions of it have been reported to exist: the first was mounted on a mobile command center chassis and looked very similar to it. This tank was not widely deployed and was only used on some occasions. The Tesla weapon also had a relatively long cool-down time required to recharge the capacitors, making it vulnerable in a combat situation with several opponents. However, its advantages come at the price of high costs of manufacture, as well as thin armor. The tank was reasonably fast (owing to its half-track design) and its weapon was effective against all surface targets. The Tesla tank also jammed enemy radars if it got close enough to a radar dome. The Tesla tank was used as a long-range support unit for main battle tanks such as the heavy tank, and sometimes also as a scout, since it was relatively fast compared to other Soviet vehicles. Essentially, it was a half-track with the ball of a Tesla coil mounted on top, which was omnidirectional.
