Armor Analysis

Tanks
A new model is available to be built. 1 Early Tank version. 11 Light Tank versions.
12 Medium Tank versions. 11 Heavy Tank versions. 3 Super Heavy Tank versions.
These technologies are highly dependent on Artillery gun technologies.
No external technologies affected.

Note, most tank model applications deactivate research on "close" tank models. See the Armor
Technology page for exact details.
