Hopefully the tanks are well balanced enough that none of them ever have such an excessive advantage that the other sides tanks can't do anything to stop them, but clearly the three tanks will be advantaged/disadvantaged in certain terrain.

The Magrider will be the best long range tank when there is cover to hide behind, due to it's direct fire weapon and ability to easily strafe in and out of cover while keeping it's strongest armor facing it's target.

The Vanguard will be the best tank in the open plains due to the fact that it can dish out the most damage and absorb the most damage in a straight up brawl.

The Prowler will be the best ambush tank in large numbers if they can sneak up behind dense cover, being able to have large swarms quickly outflank the enemy and then get away before reinforcements can do anything about it.

We'll just have to playtest to see how they stack in in a real world scenario with more complex and varied conditions.
