I think you should give it to infantry general just for a decent Anti-Tank tank. Like a Tank-destroyer unit.

I agree... Infantry needs atleast some anti-tank vehichle. It doesn't have to be an awsome unit, but strong enouigh that 3 could fight 2 battlemasters. In the same strenght area as the AirF tank

I think it should belong to tank gen. since it's a brand-new tank which would fit with the title.

I hear what you guys are saying... but I respectfully disagree. I think having a vehicle that's used to outdo other vehicles is going against what infantry generals should be about.

I was just watching a Discovery Channel special on how Egypt handled some of it's early battles against Israel in the 60's or 70's. And apparently, Egypt did very well against Israel's tanks for a while, because they were very good at getting well armed infantry to surround Israeli tanks, and use their RPG and other explosives. The point is that some tanks are not so good at beating infantry and some infantry are much better at beating tanks.

So if you feel infantry general needs some more anti-tank work, I think it should be given without making a stronger armor vehicle. Maybe if infantry had the same "laser lock" rockets as US infantry does in standard ZH. That way, it takes more micromanagement, but when anti-tank units "dig in", they pack more punch than other antitank units.

The Infantry general is perfectly fine as it is. The point of an infantry general is to use infanty. If you start giving it tanks you start to lose the speicality of the general.

If anything it should go to the tank general. Failing that, the flame general doesnt really have anything to dipose of tanks very fast. Everything is a firestorm creator. Fair enough really as it's the flame general and his speciality is to create firestorms of such a nature. At least with the infantry general the are rocket infanty and later heavy rocket infanty and the nuke general has enough firepower to easily swat tanks.

Infantry general does need a tank, I mean if Air gen can get a tank why should Infantry gen be any different? However, it shouldnt be very strong, stronger than a Scorpion tank but weaker then a Battlemaster should do, also why should it be an anti tank weapon when he already has the ATGM trooper which can one-hit KO anything weaker than a Warmaster?

The ATGM is a mid-late game unit. A simple tank could be available at 1st level just to provide some support. As a weaker unit it would not be very choice as a main line unit, just a little extra push where the gattling tanks are heavy.

Hey can someone give me a detail on ZTZ-104? Just want to see what kind of tank is it. But I vote for Nuke because he seriously need more modern nuke tanks. Since Tank already has nicely looking tank called War Master. So ZTZ-104 fits Nuke gen.
