Additional Facts

 * The Flak Tank is unable to target incoming Missiles including Hellfire Missiles from the Hellfire or Hellstorm and any Missile fired from the Missile Silo.
 * Keep your Flak Tanks away from walls because Level 10 Hellstorms players will aim at the walls and the Flak Tanks will be killed in the splash damage.
 * Flak Tanks receives the Standard 20% Range Increase versus Aircraft while Defending a Base, giving the Flak Tank Level 10+ a Maximum Range of 468. This makes them arguably the best Anti-Air Defense for a Base.. Kixeye forum reference HERE.
 * With the Standard 20% Range Increase versus Aircraft while Defending a Base the Flak Tank at different Levels can out range the following:
 * A Level 1 Flak Tank (324) can out range a Level 10 Copter Drone, a Level 8 Cobra, a Level 6 Warhawk, a Level 10 Havoc, a Level 10 Reaper Drone  and a Level 8 Halcyon.
 * A Level 3 Flak Tank (384) can out range a Level 10 Cobra, a Level 10 Warhawk, a Level 2 Hellstorm and a Level 10 Halcyon.
 * A Level 6 Flak Tank (408) can out range a Level 4 Hellstorm.
 * A Level 9 Flak Tank (432) can out range a Level 7 Hellstorm.
 * A Level 10 Flak Tank (468) can out range a Level 10 Hellstorm.
 * Flak type weapons can be devastating Hovering Aircraft such as the Cobra the and Hellstorm but they are much less effective against the fast moving Strafing Aircraft such as theThunderbolt and Raptor.
 * It can hit the Valkyrie and Elite Valkyrie. (The only Infantry Units it can hit.)
 * When firing from cover, the Flak Tank's shots does not leave a tracer which would give away it's position to an attacker.
 * When sending Flak Tanks into the world map, it's best not to have the whole platoon made up of Flak Tanks. They are unable to defend against ground attacks..
 * When Attacking a Flack Tank with Air Units it is wise to spread them out so the attack in the Half Circle Formation ( see Pic in the Gallery ).  This will limit the number of Aircraft sustaining damage for the Flak Tank.
 * 'Flak' is an acronym of the German words 'Flugzeug Abwehr Kanone' which means Anti-Aircraft Cannon.
