Why is the Marik one a tank?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Marik is stereotypically the faction that uses the most tanks/vehicles. Tanks are fragile and cheap compared to mechs, so they get used as disposable scouts by Marik forces while the more valuable Battlemechs wait for recon data.<br/><br/>Continuing to explain the joke, Jade Falcon was the first Clan to lead the invasion, so their 'scouts' are dropships full of Battlemechs. Smoke Jaguar has a tendency to just carpet-bomb planets instead of trying to conquer them.
