- Floats like a butteryfly: This tank is designed to be pretty fast for its weaponry. Its designed to rapidly plug into the enemy's positions like bunkers, hard points, defensive banks, or wherever the infantry is at and plow them down. Its so fast it can even be recommended for blitzing enemy charges by swooping around to the side and hitting the infantry hard. But hey, far be it from us to tell you how to use your toys!
- Ramming speed, Mr Sulu: The prow of this tank is reinforced pretty strongly, and is the hardest part of the tank. Its perfect for slamming through duracrete bunkers or just playing bumper cars.
- Rapid swivel turret: To use effectively against infantry, this tank's gun turret moves pretty fast so it can shoot them off from all sides.
- Light cargo hold: This tank has a fourth of the average cargo a tank of its size should have, so it won't be able to carry near as may supplies as your average tank its size would.
- Pillow Punch: All the weapons on the tank are geared towards taking down infantry units, even its main flak gun. It could do pretty well against speeders too like Swoops or retrofitted civilian speeders. However, when it comes to taking on tanks or other heavy cavalry is to just best to try and out run it.
- Tight spaces: To make it faster, this tank sacrificed cabin space. There isn't much room, so its not recommended for claustrophobic people to use.
Tired of massive waves of storm troopers ruining your day? Are you sick of those mean cans just swarming your heavy machinery or your convoy? Well, then you need a few AIT Grinders. These tanks have one purpose and one purpose only: hit infantry units as hard as they possibly can. Their armaments are specialized in taking down as many of those pesky meatheads as can be thrown at them as quickly as possible.
Just move these guys either in concert with tanks who need infantry protection or speed them along into the fray to take the enemy head on and watch the magic happen. You will never be so proud to watch your foes become pulp before you. Its small size and weight makes it idea for throwing en mass against your enemy infantry divisions--try deploying them against a stormtrooper charge and watch this thing become a line-breaker. The Grinder is about to become your new best friend.
But, you'd best be careful, the design of this tank makes it weak against everything else. Its guns aren't strong enough to take on military grade vehicle armor or aircraft. All in all, its just an anti-infantry tank.
