Note: Each weapon group is capable of firing infinitely if fired alone. It is when you fire them together that you'll get overheating. The turret can fire both sides simultaneously about 4 times before needing to cool down, but you'll find that this is more than enough to destroy enemy tanks. (Most will die in 1-3 shots).


The second tank designed by Typhon Armorworks, the Tigershark was created to bring heavy hitting support to the lighter Piranha squadrons. What it lacks in defense it makes up for in offense, becoming an icon of Typhon Armorwork's "Alpha Strike" mentality. It is heavily armed with front mounted lasers, but its real source of deadliness comes from the beam laser turret on top, which is capable of tearing through shields and armor in milliseconds.

The Tigershark also included one controversial feature: a tea maker built into the cockpit. This came in response to many letters from Piranha pilots who complained after seeing the feature incorporated into other tanks. The decision to include the tea maker was unpopular with military officers, who now complained that their pilots would be distracted. The opposite proved to be true, however, as pilot morale was boosted by the decision, and many Tigershark pilots found themselves having much greater patience while waiting for that right moment to ambush an enemy.

- The slider on the right side of the pilot seat will control the front-most hover engines. Increasing this slider will pitch the nose up, decreasing it will pitch the nose down. By default, the slider is set where the tank will be level, but the tank will spawn with the nose pitched up (these engines will be at full power). You will have to manually jiggle the slider to level the nose.

- Turret elevation control is finicky. I have done everything I can think of design wise to make things work, but for some reason there is an area between the minimum and maximum elevation that it just doesn't like, and it can freeze up on you. I don't know what else to say about this other than let's hope turret control is further refined in the future.
