"Weighting in at nearly 70 tons, this modern behemoth has super-heavy armor and enough firepower to level a city on its own. The 120mm cannon fires sabot rounds which are particularly effective against enemy armor." —Stockpile caption
The Diplomat is equal to the Chinese Iron Mountain Heavy Tank in armor and in damage output from the main gun. The Iron Mountain Tank cost less fuel at 220 gallons, while the Diplomat which costs more fuel at 240 gallons.
This tank moves more quickly than most others, and can travel up anything but a vertical surface while maintaining a decent amount of speed to work with. It can actually run over and destroy almost any vehicle smaller or shorter, even another Iron Mountain or Diplomat tank if the player manages to run it over. The tank can run into or over anything, even at top speed, and take no damage. (That is, excepting IED's, landmmines, and airstrikes.) Bullets, including heavy machine gun bullets and anti-material rifles, will also do absolutely zero percent damage to the tank. However; like most vehicles, this tank has weaker rear armor; a shot from another heavy tank will destroy it.
This is the only tank in the game with a minigun. The armor of the Diplomat may be tough but getting caught in the blast of a Fuel Air RPG will destroy the tank. Do not hold this against it, however, as a Fuel Air RPG blast can destroy literally anything.
Its advantage over the Iron Mountain Heavy Tank is increased speed of movement but at the cost of a larger profile. Making it easier and harder to hit in two different ways. However, the Diplomat's higher profile allows it to bulldoze its way over anything, unlike the Iron Mountain, which gets stuck getting over wall rubble.
The Diplomat is based on the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank with the M1A2 TUSK (Tank Urban Survival Kit) add-on. -Mercs Wiki.
i like how they called it a diplomat tank.
allied diplomat: the negotiations failed PREPARE MY TANK! bitches WILL do what i say!
Yeah the AN gunship which is a weird hybrid of real designs is called the Ambassador. lol
this game is awesome =P
I agree. It was pretty good. But it got terrible scores when it was first released. They said it was buggy and had a lot of problems. But I didn't play it until after it had been out for a while. I was lucky enough to experience the game after it was fixed via heavy patching. So I don't know what it was like at launch.
They ****** up the woodland camo.
Other than that it's quite awesome.
well i guess now i know why america relies heavily on its diplomatic skills....
