No more TANK BURGER.

This add-on improves the tank's AI to a level that is more threatening to survivors. The major changes are as follows.

- When the tank hits the survivor, the rampage motion is removed. - When the tank throws a rock, it frequently changes the target to the easiest to hit. - When hit and incapacitated by the tank's punch, the survivor flies away by the momentum of the punch. - When the tank hits an incapacitated survivor, if there are survivors around, they are struck together. - When the tank punches the surrounding objects, the flight trajectory of the objects tends to be more towards the survivor. - Blocking the tank using the ladder becomes difficult. - If the tank knocks on the safehouse door five times, it can be opened. - The burning tank moves slightly faster. (Like L4D1) - In a two-tank situation, prevent the tank from getting stuck in another tank's rock and dying.
