	This tank fires explosive rockets toward the enemy that will explode on contact with a solid object - be it an enemy unit or a wall. These rockets lack the strength of the Large Rockets used in the [[Rocket Launcher]] but are moderate in strength and provide a considerable punch. Each tank can carry 8 rockets at a time.

	The Rocket tank can remain useful to the very end of the game even if its destructive power is surpassed by the [[Hovertank/Launcher]]. HWP Rockets are readily available and cost little compared to the HWP Fusion Balls required by the [[Hovertank/Launcher]]. The Tank/Rocket Launcher is therefore cheaper to bring into field combat.

			The best use is base defense, since space limit isn't a concern. Four soldiers will be more useful than any of the tanks on missions. Two or three rocket tanks and a handful of operatives can easily handle anything the aliens will throw at you, with proper bottlenecked base design.

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