The Tank/Laser Cannon is the first of the tanks that must be manufactured, or third in the [[Heavy Weapons Platforms\|HWP]] hierarchy. It is a byproduct derived from the technologies used in the craft mounted [[Laser Cannon]].

	Though it borrows the old tracked tank torso, and suffers from the same limitations, it is fitted with a much more powerful variant of the [[Heavy Laser]] that is equal in strength to the [[Hovertank/Plasma]]'s turret. It is therefore the most powerful tracked tank available and a most potent weapon against ~~[[Sectopod]]s~~.

It is therefore the most powerful tracked tank available and a most potent weapon against aliens.

	The turret has a limit of 255 shots, but is recharged for free after every battle. The high damage gives a 4.55% chance of breaching an inner UFO wall, giving them a potentially useful role as a low-cost breaching weapon (see [[Destroying Terrain]] for more details).

			This weapons system is used in ''[[X-COM\|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. In ''[[TFTD\|Terror from the Deep]]'', the [[Coelacanth/Gauss]] is the equivalent.

While probably a side-effect of doodles in the margins, it is most definitely a side product of the Firestorm and related craft weapon technology. More time may have been spent on the improved laser weapon due to the lack in foresight in recycling the old tank torso.		* Like all the advanced tanks, no research topic needs to be prompted to get the Tank/Laser Cannon.

	Tank/Laser Cannons can be produced at a significantly lower cost than the more-advanced hovertanks, and do not require [[Elerium]] in their manufacture. However, they must be produced in a [[workshop]], not bought, and like the Hovertanks, incur a 25 workshop space overhead.
