Blade Tank Series

UPDATE: RW v1.13 is on the way soon and I can reassure that I'll be updating my mods for it when it releases, as well as hopefully releasing another something I'm working on at the moment. I can't promise it'll be instantaneous as I'm rather busy but I haven't entirely dropped support for either of my mods. There's cool stuff on the way, promise!

A series of light and heavy tanks to complement the default tanks in Rusted Warfare, named after various swords. I did my best to balance them to fit into the vanilla balance for the most part, while kinda expanding the options for late-game higher econ engagements. While not totally overpowered, they're all above the stock Heavy Tank and cost more to boot.

The mod contains three T1 light tanks, four T2 heavy tanks, and a single Experimental superheavy tank. Most of them have more niche or specialized roles but there's a few general purpose units in there too.

TL;DR BEGIN
Light tanks:
Dagger - The "stock" light tank, it's short on hit points but it's cheap, fast, and has a rapid-fire energy weapon for it's main gun, can be deadly in volume.
Estoc - A sniper variant of the Dagger, trades even more HP for a long-range single-target cannon with a long reload.
Kris - A short range assault tank variant, the Kris adds extra armor, a dozer blade, and a fixed shotgun cannon. It's got good damage and moderate health but it's short range hurts.

Heavy Tanks:
Broadsword - Primary heavy tank pattern, has good HP, speed, and a powerful main gun with a small AoE but unlike the vanilla Heavy Tank, it has no AA capability.
Sidesword - Broadsword variant that trades the main gun for a twin turret setup carrying a plasma gun similar to the Dagger's and a nanobeam turret for healing allied units.
Rapier - Broadsword variant mounting quad anti-aircraft cannons. It's fragile, with moderate DPS and high range, and can attack ground targets at half range.
Xiphos - Broadsword variant designed for high damage, trades some armor for twin cannons and a plasma gun turret as well. While it's main guns can't hit air units, it's plasma gun can, giving it limited AA ability in a pinch.

Experimental:
Zweihander - Superheavy tank inspired by the Baneblade from 40k. Extremely slow but has a ton of HP and a wide array of firepower at various ranges. Main gun is a long-range AoE cannon with a long reload. It's got two long-range plasma cannons in the sponsons as well, with slightly shorter range, for dealing with higher armor targets. The coaxial autocannon comes into play as it gets closer still, before finally opening up with three machine gun turrets at short range for it's max DPS. The autocannon and machine guns can hit air units as well.
TL;DR END

This is my first mod, and still has a few work in progress elements. Any balance feedback is greatly appreciated. Please let me know what you think!
