	— In-game description

The Flood Ascension Mk. V is a Warden Battle Tank variant equipped with a long-barreled 75mm main cannon, and a hull-mounted, low-velocity 12.7mm machine gun.

Description

Crew

The Flood Ascension Mk. V houses a crew of five (5) soldiers:

• Driver
  • Controls the movement of the vehicle, and can see the remaining fuel in the tank
• Cannoneer (Gunner)
  • Controls the movement and firing of the 75mm main cannon. Cannot reload the cannon from this seat
• Secondary Gunner
  • Controls the movement and firing of the hull-mounted Heavy Flamethrower (the secondary armament)
• Commander
  • Capable of directing the tank crew, as well as giving them a better overview of the battlefield
  • Can open up the cupola (hatch) by pressing E, which allows the player to use their secondary, such as a binocular
• Engineer
  • Reloads the main cannon by pressing R, and can repair the vehicle from the inside by pressing E (with Basic Materials in the player's inventory)
  • Capable of seeing the health of the Tank, as well as how many shells remaining inside the inventory

Due to being an enclosed vehicle, the player can access all seats when pressing Control + 1-5.

Due to the expensive cost of the vehicle, it is recommended to have a Commander, or adequate protection from other tanks and infantry so it is protected at all times.

• 75mm shells

The Battle Tank can be packaged and transported by Barge, Freighter, or a BMS Black Bolt.

Trivia

• Battle Tanks had a tenuous development history in Foxhole. They were initially added in Update 0.20 but were later removed in Update 0.40 for balancing. They were reintroduced in Update 1.50 with nearly all aspects receiving a major overhaul, with the exception being crew roles
• When the Flood Ascension Mk. V was initially introduced, it was so overpowered that it was instantly removed afterwards, resulting in it only being in the game for a single war
• Currently, it is unsure whether or not the Flood Ascension Mk. V will make it back into the game, and if it does, how it will be changed in order to fit the current game
  • It is a safe assumption the Flood Ascension Mk. V will follow the same logistical challenges as the other Battle Tanks if it's reintroduced
