Dark Reign Manual

The Triple-Rail hover tank is a truly powerful weapon in the battlefield. It has a fair price but it's triple blasting cannon can destroy 2 plasma tanks without breaking a sweat! That is the catch guys!

Official Guide to Dark Reign

The Triple-Rail Tank is the most powerful assault tank in the whole Freedom Guards Technology. Aside from air attacks, almost no units (exept Tachyon Tank and planes) can match a group of Triple-Rail tanks!

The Triple-Rail Tank has got good offense and fair defense. It suits all kinds of situations except air battles. Different strategy can be performed along with Triple-Rail Tanks. But usually they are often used in assault battles.

Here's some tips that I'll give you: Often attack using Triple-Rail Tanks, Skirmish Tanks/ Flak Jacks and infantries. Always put infantries first to scout out if there is any turrets in front. If there is, it is the most sensible solution to avoid the turrets and find a route to attack straight to the base.

Unofficial Guide to Dark Reign

This is a heavy assault tank for Freedom Guard. The Triple-Rail Gun is a turreted weapon with a long range, enabling it to attack from a distance (which has an advantage to units who got short range). Tachyon Tanks, Sky Fortresses (or as called 'Donuts')and Neutron Accelerators can easily wipe out a group of Triple-Rail Tank which are close together. So you will need to make sure to open up a clear path for it to attack. By pressing X (scattering)the Triple-Rail Tanks will spread out. That tactic is very good against Sky Forts. and Martyrs. If you got Skirmish Tanks/ Flak Jacks (I prefer both)then they will provide some anti-air defense for the Triple-Rail Tanks instead of letting them to just sit there and get killed like sitting ducks.
