Called a Scout Runner because of its impressive sight range and speed, this vehicle can zip in and out for reconnaissance while armed with twin laser cannons for protection. |
Combat
The Scout Runner is a small, lightweight tank. Its laser cannons deal less damage to vehicles, which means it will tend to peck away at the hulls of other tanks. But it is very quick, so it excels at hit-and-run tactics.
Note that because of the its long sight range, it has a greater tendency to run off to attack things (assuming its Pursuit Range isn’t set to LOW) than other units. This means Scout Runners frequently end up isolated, attacking units by themselves even when there are reinforcements standing not half a screen away. You may need to keep an eye on them when they are posted on guard in an area, and send other forces to help them where necessary.
Scout Runners slightly out-range Laser Turrets. Although they don’t do terrific damage against buildings, if you can get them positioned correctly, they can take out such turrets without being fired upon.
