The Hydra D is a continuation of the Hydra tank series, made for the purpose of taking out heavier targets from afar. It is not as versatile as the B or C variants, meaning that it is not designed to be in close quarters fighting, and its armament of gatlings and rockets only exists as a last resort, self defense.

However, where the Hydra D truly shines is taking out targets that the other variants cannot, and at ranges that they cannot achieve. With its 4 HE missiles, it is capable of taking out enemy emplacements, and even downing enemy airships with ease.

The Hydra D is ideal for running support operations to tank assaults, where it can provide heavy supporting fire to the frontline units, and take out dangerous targets before they have a chance to shoot its allies.

NOTE: The turret can only be controlled from the LEFT cockpit! (Sorry, British Friends)

The turret will use your mouse inputs to aim vertically. The turret's horizontal rotation is the same as rotating the tank. When firing the missile, hit (3) for each individual missile. The same button will launch each missile individually, and then you can use the cameras (4 or 5) to guide the missile to the target.



It is recommended you do not pilot the tank at max speed, or the machine spirits may get angry.
