Strengths:
- Eight Tracks; The CTH-A1's tracks are split into four groups of two. Two at the front, two at the back. If one or two tracks are snapped, the rest can still chug along, although slower.
- Tank Hunter; The A1 is designed for hunting and curb-stomping enemy tanks with intense firepower.
- Exposed; The 50.cal turret of the A1 is exposed to enemy infantry fire. While the imposing turret can keep heads down, if someone is gutsy enough and doesn't get shot, they can quickly pick off the 50.cal gunner.
- Capacity; The A1 has limited capacity for cargo or passengers. The tank crew require rations to be delivered to the frontlines or pull back to a base camp for supplies, while passengers cannot be ferried around.
The CTH-A1 stands for Commonwealth Tank Hunter, model A1, first in the series of future Commonwealth tanks by TaraTari wartime. The A1 by TaraTari is a beast on the battlefield, a seemingly indomitable monster that carves a path through enemy vehicles as it hungrily seeks out hostile tanks.
Within the thick plates of the tank the crew hurriedly maneuver between tight corners inside the vehicle. With only a single hatch that leads out of the tank, it also sports as the 50.cal turret placement. The tank is superb at engaging enemy tanks, capable of withstanding incredible strain.
Although the tank hunter is a keen combatant on the battlefield, if left alone by a support platoon of marines it can quickly become overwhelmed by enemy infantry. Although it boasts tremendous firepower from a 50.cal to dispose of infantry, it is highly exposed and the gunner can be very easily picked off by a rifleman.
From there the tank the tank can become a sitting duck to enemy rockets, grenades, air support or mortars. If removed from ally aid, A1's are forced to retreat to the safety of the frontline. Due to the thick plating of the tank cargo capacity is limited only to ammunition, unable to bring rations to battle and thus can only join battle for a limited time before returning to a base camp or outpost.
