Must be fully researched in the Vehicle 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
The T20 “Ixion” Tankette can be stored in a Storage Depot, Seaport or Storage Ship.
It can be packaged into a medium Shippable and transported by any Shipping Vehicle (Crane, Flatbed Truck, Barge, Freighter, Storage Ship, Landing Ships, Flatbed Car). It can be lifted by any crane. A mobile Crane or Large Crane can undeploy and move while holding it.
The T20 “Ixion” Tankette is a well-armed and armored tankette, which is equipped with heavy armor and a gun capable of damaging enemy vehicles and structures. Due to these characteristics, it is capable of shrugging off most infantry weapons, with heavier ammunition, like anti-armor rounds or explosive, being the only ones able to effectively damage it.
Despite its stats, its biggest downside is the short range of the 30mm gun, which must close the gap in order to hit its target. Due to this, friendly infantry must support this vehicle in order to deal damage.
Tankette Effectiveness over the Course of the War
Similar to all tankettes, as soon as heavier anti-armor weapons become more common, the T20 “Ixion” Tankette loses most of its relevance on the front line, as they will quickly be destroyed, as longer ranged weapons prevent the crew from reacting fast enough before being destroyed. However, due to its armament, it is still a formidable opponent when operated by a competent crew.
Effective tankette transport
Due to the tankettes slow speed, it is recommended that you transport the tankette to its destination via a Flatbed Truck, rather than driving it. However it should be noted that this requires a crane to both load and unload the vehicle. Tankettes can not be packaged when their armor or health is not full.
Standard Equipment Loadout
Like with every other armored vehicle, the crew should ALWAYS equip themselves with a Gas Mask and multiple Filters to avoid dying to Gas Grenades. Additionally, they should bring a Hammer and Basic Materials to repair the tankette. These tactics can be buffed by wearing either a Tank Uniform or an Engineer Uniform.
