Cloud Tank/Airship/Airballoon?/Blimp??/Convoy
#1
Hmm, this just popped into my head, but perhaps some kind of "cloud" tank, which I imagine would be a new air. I know we already got a new air with SF, but another early game air tank would be nice as there are so many ground. Perhaps it could have a constant camou or "cloud covering" that gave extra hp/speed. Some acid rain ability that deals poison perhaps. Jet propulsion of course, but maybe also a gust which twirls the enemy into the air basically disabling them(I've seen this before but not in btanks) or an ability similar to SF that allows it to have a speed burst. Instead of rocket a bolt which temporarily paralyzes/stuns the enemy, or thunder soundwave which would spread out from the tank and deal less damage the farther it goes, max range 1500 or so. Any other suggestions? Some of the abilities are a little cliche but i just thought of it, maybe I'll think of something better in the future. Any suggestions/improvements? Like the concept? Note: posted this in the new tanks thread but noticed TKF wanted separate threads now so...

I don't understand where you would put it:
1k heli
4.5k airship
8k Sky tank
16k Sky fortress

Seems well dispersed to me already

I'd put it in the 1-1.5k range. All of the beginning tanks are ground, so maybe at least one more air besides heli would help.

The helicopter costs 1k and 1k is within the 1-1.5k range.
You want an air tank at the beginning - we already have the heli tank, and it does a good job.
We also have the trader, another air tank that can be purchased with starting gold.

The hp/$ formulae is pretty much set, so unless you have some revolutionary idea for a new tank that requires it to be air, and would be useful at low lvls with low $$ needed then I think you are out of luck.
