A tank in
Panzer Elite
.
The turret is facing in a
different direction from
the tracks.
A popular alternative is the
mech
, which is a science-fiction cousin to the tank that
is usually depicted as a large armed and armored walking machine (see
Figure 17.6
).
Because mechs aren't restricted by reality, they can carry all sorts of imaginary
weapons and hardware, and they can be optimized for single-player play.
