ZXTank Salvage & Repairs
Contents
The Battlefield Never Stops Working
Every successful hit can knock valuable components from a damaged tank. Instead of disappearing, these parts remain on the battlefield, giving every commander an opportunity to recover and repair.
This creates a constantly changing battlefield where combat and recovery are closely connected.
Recover Battlefield Salvage
Damaged tanks can drop repairable components including armour plates, track parts, engine components, turret assemblies and radar equipment.
Salvage is never reserved for the player who caused the damage. Once it reaches the battlefield, every active commander can collect it.
First Come, First Served
Every piece of salvage becomes a valuable objective. Leaving cover to recover repair parts can restore your own tank, but it also exposes you to enemy fire.
Choosing whether to continue attacking or secure nearby salvage is one of the most important tactical decisions during every battle.
Repair Damaged Systems
Collected salvage helps restore damaged tank systems, allowing your vehicle to recover lost performance during battle.
Repairing tracks improves handling, restoring the engine improves mobility, repairing the turret improves aiming and restoring the radar increases battlefield awareness.
Repair Depots
Some battlefields include Repair Depots that allow damaged tanks to recover while remaining inside the repair zone.
Repair Depots become natural conflict points, encouraging commanders to balance the safety of repairing against the risk of enemy attack.
Every Decision Matters
Salvage transforms every firefight into a new objective. Destroying an enemy tank is only part of the battle—the valuable repair components left behind may become just as important.
Experienced commanders know when to press the attack, when to retreat for repairs and when to deny valuable salvage to the opposition.
Master Recovery and Survival
Victory isn't always decided by who fires the first shot. Maintaining your tank, recovering damaged systems and controlling valuable battlefield resources often determines who survives the longest.
Learning when to recover salvage and when to continue fighting is one of the key skills that separates experienced commanders from new recruits.
