Planetside 2 has unveiled new information about its new Nanite Systems vehicle, the Lightning tank.

This light weight 75mm tank is available to all three factions, and is designed to take advantage of a war without death, and intel shows it is quick, requires few resources to obtain and only needs a one man crew. The only weakness of the tank is that it cannot survive a direct confrontation against a main battle tank.
