Dozer
 |
The Dozer is responsible for constructing China's structures, as well as keeping them repaired when damaged. It can also detect and clear mines and other hidden explosive devices.
Clear Mines Orders the unit to clear mines and booby traps within the assigned area. |
Bullfrog
 |
The Bullfrog was designed as a fast scouting and transport vehicle. Its purpose is to quickly scout the region as soon as possible and take over important structures with a small strike force. The Bullfrog comes from the factory empty, but can transport three soldiers. While the transport is carrying troops, one of the passengers will man the light machine gun mounted on the vehicle to defend it.

Ravage Tank
 |
The Ravage Tank is General Leang's main battle tank. The workhorse of Leang's army, it excels at soaking up damage while Leang's devastating special weapons tear up the enemy. It's not very remarkable when it comes to speed or attack damage, however, but it's a tough nut to crack. It can be upgraded with Ravage Armor for even more durability and Ramjet Assisted Shells to ensure the first hit in a tank battle.
Launch Ramjet Assisted Shell
The Ravage launches a Ramjet Assisted Shell at the designated target. Ramjet shells have much longer range than the default anti tank shell, but must be loaded manually for each shot. |
Advanced Dragon Tank
 |
The Advanced Dragon Tank is vastly superior to its standard counterpart. With a double flamethrower and increased firepower, it presents pure death to infantry units and can turn buildings into ashes within mere seconds. The Advanced Dragon Tank does not have the Firewall mode, but its normal stream firing mode is nearly just as effective. Its secondary fire mode fires fast fireballs with a longer range which are especially effective against infantry. It starts with Black Napalm and can be upgraded with White Napalm for even more flaming fun.
Flame Thrower mode The Dragon Tank fires a constant stream of napalm. Flame Ball mode The Dragon Tank fires two hot & spicy fireballs at its target, no constant damage like the stream mode, but longer range and in groups it can create a firestorm. |
Dual Gattling Tank
 |
The Dual Gattling Tank contains twice the pain of normal Gattling tanks. Cannon fodder does not work on these machines due to the fact that the top turret's only job is anti-air, while the horizontal gattling can only attack ground units. It starts with the chaingun upgrade for initial boosted firepower, and can be further upgraded with Beetle Targeting to make the bullets tear everything apart.
|
Support Crawler
 |
The Support Crawler is Leang's equivalent of the Troop Crawler. It helps her warriors survive in the field. Manned by skilled mechanics and physicians and armed with wire-guided missile launchers usable against ground and air targets, this unit is a valuable asset to any strike force. Compared to a normal Troop Crawler, the Support TC carries less troops, but is slightly faster. Also, unlike Troop Crawlers, it doesn't come with soldiers by default. It is also Leang's only unit that can provide in-field repair, as she does not make use of Propaganda. The Support Crawler can detect stealthed units with its installed radar system. |
ECM Tank
 |
The ECM Tank uses a powerful dampening field to distort the flightpath of enemy missiles and can channel its energy to shut down all electronics on an enemy vehicle for as long as it is targeted. Leang's ECM Tank is identical to the standard Chinese issue.
Disable Vehicle The ECM focuses its energy into a jamming beam to deactivate another vehicle, deactivates the missile deflection as long as it's active. Free Fire mode Orders the ECM Tank to fire the jamming beam at will, sacrificing the missile deflection shield. Hold Fire mode Orders the ECM Tank to hold fire and keep deflecting missiles. |
Listening Outpost
 |
Leang's Listening Outpost is nearly identical to the standard Chinese counterpart, with the addition of an anti-air gattling cannon on its rear to effectively engage air-targets. When built, it comes ready with 2 Grenade Tank Hunters. Just like standard Listening Outposts, the infantry inside can fire out of the vehicle. It is stealthed when not moving or firing. |
Hack Van
 |
The Hack Van is an armored vehicle that offers protection for hackers while they hack inside. Leang's is the same issued to standard Chinese armies. |
TOS-1 Buratino
 |
The TOS-1 Buratino is a mobile unguided rocket artillery system. It deploys napalm rockets to set anything ablaze within the large radius of the barrage. It can be upgraded with White Napalm at the War Factory to further increase the effectiveness of the inferno. Its rockets however cannot create a firestorm.
Ground Attack Orders the unit to fire its payload on the targeted area. Every artillery piece in ShockWave has this ability. |
Hammer Cannon
 |
Due to her despise of nuclear technology, General Leang introduced a brand new mobile artillery design, superior to the Nuke Cannon: the Hammer Cannon. It outranges all mobile artillery units which have been encountered so far. This monstrous behemoth deploys an equally gargantuan cannon, capable of obliterating any ground target from a long distance. It can fire both High Explosive and Seismic Shells, the latter creating earthquakes to disable buildings and keep units from attacking.
Ground Attack Orders the unit to fire its payload on the targeted area. Every artillery piece in ShockWave has this ability. HE Shells Switches to conventional High Explosive Shells which can inflict decent damage. Seismic Shells Switches to Seismic Shells. Upon impact these create a small scale earthquake, with similar effects to the one of the Anvil tank described below. |
Anvil Tank
 |
The Anvil Tank is one of the defining special weapons in Leang's arsenal. When deployed and activated, this 'earthquake machine' will throw a violent seismic storm around itself to disable structures and make all units in a wide radius (friendly and hostile) unable to use any weapons or special abilities. The massive earthquake can outrange and shutdown defensive systems and protect itself from anything but long range and aerial attacks.
Deploy Deploys the Anvil's seismic weapon and unleashes a large earthquake. |
