 * Starting at Level 7 the Hover Tank  can outrange the Hellstorm ( Range 450 ) due to the 20% Anti-Aircraft Range Bonus.
 * Can also outrange Spectre on the range table, but due to the large splash damage radius, the Spectre can still outrange Hover Tank.
 * The upgrade cost and time are the same as the Mega Tank.
 * The Hover Tank can target incoming Missiles from both Units and the Missile Silo.
 * The Hover Tank can Shoot-On-The-Move.
 * The Hover Tank automatically tries to avoid  the explosion of a Missile fired from the Missile Silo by moving away from a Missile's landing spot. However this is not the case for missiles launched by The Hellfire or the Hellstorm.
