I think because there are the other vehicles and it makes good filler. Also the mold allows them to make the generic tank as well.

Probably!

I miss reading GI Combat. Sgt. Rock and the Haunted Tank are the DC WW2 heroes I remember.

It's only connection seems to be from Brave and the Bold. From Wikipedia:

Funny how different things appeal to different people. The Mole Monster is the only one of those collosals I have played more then once, and I pulled them all. I think I have played mole man more then anyone else from that set, and winningly to I might add.

Am I missing something, 13 clicks for 90 points?

Now here's something (or things) my Sgt. Rock team needed!

A Joe Kubert team consisting of Hawkman, The Original Flash, Sgt Rock and his easy company with Sgt Rock riding in The Haunted Tank :-) :-) I would love to play this team really soon :-)

Which is just nuts, I mean yeah it is a tank, but still...13 clix? with top loaded 18 d and invuln. Thing is a bit much if you ask me(Yes, I know you didn't).

That'll be my preferred "amusing" pilot. Practically, it'll be Warlord or an Easy Co fellow.

With generally atrocious combat values. And the last 6 clicks of its dial it is literally killing itself*, and yet is the only time it sees a double-digit Av, and 2 of its only 4 Invuln-busting damage values.

* Expanding on this, there's no choice. Any time an adjacent friendly is dealt damage, the tank takes the hit too, even if no damage is taken. So an EE or Poison hit that is completely absorbed will still harm the tank...unless your opponent Outwitted the SP to try an make the EE/Poison stick!

EDIT: Just noticed it's only on a roll of a 1. That's not as bad as I thought then. Still don't think it's anything close to OP though.

As a noob to the game but not DC in general. I just don't get this one. It looks kind of cool but meh! The amount of clicks is nice but once again. MEH! This is not a commentary on usefulness or playability in any way. I just don't get a feeling that I would want to play this just upon seeing this fig. One of the things that drew me to this game is recognizable characters and this one just didn't fit the bill to me.

wow, this is crazy

I believe if I ever use a vehicle it will be this one

I had my doubts, until I read the stats on this vehicle. this is truly a keeper. look forward to getting this and building a soldier team around it.

I got a question im still unclear about. The "trip" mechanic, when the pilot replaces it values with the vevicles, does the vehicle rettain these new values permanently or just for that turn? Eg. Batman (from dc 10 A), gets in batmobile and swaps his 12 av with the batmobiles. Does the batmobile now have 12 av for the rest of the game?

nice tank, would love to pull one of these.
