		+	Caliban is a close range fighter, unlike its techtree counterpart [[Caernarvon]]. It is completely unsuited for ranged fights due to its very bad accuracy and EXTREMELY POOR shell velocity (particularly with HESH shells). Thanks to its good acceleration it can race to key positions reasonably quickly and once there trade shots with enemy tanks, using its good frontal armor to tank some shots while returning fire. An excellent -10 degrees of gun depression ensures that Caliban will stay relevant on uneven terrain too.
