Heavy Tank is a very rare 
Vehicle tied to a high-tier unlockable Skill. It comes equipped with a 
Cannon v.2 and a 
Fixed Machine Gun v2, which are better than the ones installed on 
Light Tanks by a notch. The vehicle is as tough as 50 
Life Points, and is shielded with 3 
Armor. On average, the vehicle can hold for three hits with explosives.
To use the vehicle more often, one can specialize and level up 
Pilots, improving the chance of deployment by 25% every new level. Testing is ready to be started (need tank owners) to determine chances of deployment. See Talk Page.
It is assumed that the heavy tank operates in a way that is similar to other combat vehicles. As some trooper skills are useful to other vehicles we can assume they will also be useful to a heavy tank. See Vehicles and skills.
Deployment
Deployment cost illustrated.
Here is a replay of a player owned Heavy Tank in combat: Berewea
Heavy Tank + 2 troops
Also here is a video showing a bot owned Heavy Tank in combat: Video.
Heavy Tank + 1 light tank + 0 troops
The image to the right was taken from the previous video. The heavy tank seems is need 8 
Deployment Points to enter the field but will only use 6 points itself. Maybe it was done for more realistic use - in real war heavy tanks never goes to front lines without infantry or any another support. In favor of this theory says that fact: if team has enough points of 
Communications (10 or more) and when tank leaves alone or only with one trooper of support against many enemies (4 or more) there is a very big chance, that tank will give next order not "Solo mission", but "Retreat" due to AI, which decide that in this situation your forces are weak. It can be even if tank was not damage at all and has one support trooper - 7 Deployment Points are not 8 Deployment Points.
Because of this an army without four or more 
Scouts cannot deploy a heavy tank. There are theories on other ways that the Heavy Tank might be deployed without Scouts however they are untested (see Vehicles: Deployment ).
Trivia
- It's not the only early XX century materiel seen in the game, which could probably mean than one of initial concepts was placed in a corresponding era hence some of the stylistic elements, but then revoked in favour of Modern one, giving a strange feeling visual mix.
- People have said that this tank has some visual resemblance with the Leman Russ, with is a fictional tank appearing in Warhammer 40,000.

Minigun; its damage is 2-3 while the tank can block as many as 3 points of damage, rendering the minigun completely useless unless utilized in conjunction with 
Armor-Piercing Shells.
