Tank/Rocket Launcher
General Information
This is one of the first two HWPs available to new X-COM Commanders.
The most effective of the early HWPs, this tank fires explosive rockets toward the enemy. These rockets will explode on contact with a solid object - be it an enemy unit or a wall.
The Rocket tank can remain useful to the very end of the game, as its destructive power is matched only by the Hovertank/Launcher. However, HWP Rockets are readily available and cost little compared to the HWP Fusion Balls required by the Hovertank/Launcher.
