Tanks
Type 22 Flakpanzer
 |
| Type 22 Flakpanzer |
Misaki’s personal tank, with which he has traveled
the desolated world alone in pursuit of knowledge on mankind’s imminent
annihilation. It is a Flakpanzer (anti-aircraft tank) designed with top
priority “surface-to-air capability,” with a surface-to-air capability chassis
equipped by default. It features two anti-aircraft cannons as its main
armaments in its uniquely-shaped turrets, and specializes in fighting airborne
monsters. By shooting the anti-aircraft cannons at a level angle, it can also
destroy enemies on the ground. The tank was designed as a fusion of the German
Gepard tank and the Japanese Self-Defense Force’s Type 87 self-propelled
anti-aircraft gun.
