The
Firedrum Tank was introduced after the Royal Pandarens realized the immense usefulness of the newly imported
Rasputin Tank from the Soviet legion.
The Rasputin was put into great use during many military operations, but the Pandaren soon recognized that it was a very hard task to upkeep the tank, because replacements, spare parts and deep knowledge required big amounts of money.
Thus the Pandaren Royal Academy and its inventive engineers developed a tank that was similar in function and combat power, but was made to better fit the Pandaren combat doctrines and was made from local available resources.
The tank itself is classified as a light tank and certainly is a jack of all trades.
Sporting a light cannon, a pair of tube rocket launchers as well as the feared 'Spirited Dragon' flame launcher is can attack most targets with great success.
The famous
Jadefist Tank is a heavy combat support vehicle of the Pandaren Empire. Derived from bamboo and grain harvesting vehicles they are able to traverse any terrain with ease. The mighty Jadeshard cannon is a slow-firing, low damage weapon that can stun most enemies for a long time.
