Highly Conspicuous Uniform: Usually averted, most tanks are camouflaged or at least in a terrain-neutral color.

This is necessary to fight one boss, a rather large bomber.

Flying Tank: You can strap a pair of wings and jet boosters to the sides of your tank and take flight.

Gratuitous German: Many examples in the names of Q-Stein cities, like Gloonstadt, though it may just be a case of As Long as It Sounds Foreign.

However, some of the real-life allies the French tanks and modern Japanese tanks are sided with the Q-stein.

Nebelia's Red Shirts are British tanks, but their de facto military leader is an Israeli Merkava III.

Good Tanks Bad Tanks: In general, Proton Red Shirts are American and British tanks and Q-Stein Mooks are German and Russian ones.

Gladiator Sub Quest: The aptly-named Battle Arena.

It makes short work of air units if you can line them up- It rotates with your turret but has fixed elevation.

Gatling Good: The air Gatling weapon, most prominently.

Fire-Breathing Weapon: The 'Flame Gun' and 'Blaze Gun' sub weapons.

Energy Weapons: A few become available towards the endgame.The Emperor: The Q-Stein Emperor, of course.It just happens to be the second-best armoured tank in the game (the German Maus (unlocked at the endgame) being number one), and it has a large amount of carry weight meaning that it can be upgraded with sufficient weaponry and armour to make the game something of a cakewalk. Disk One Nuke: The Challenger is unlockable in the third town.It is, however, one of the few powerful weapons that doesn't require you to stay in one place, unlike the Long Shot or the Positron. It has a 30% chance to do 300 points of damage, but the other 70% just goes through enemies. Difficult, but Awesome: The Graviton gun.Diesel Punk: While the tanks themselves are based on real world tanks from World War II and onward, and there are futuristic bosses, the towns seem like they're stuck in the 40s.Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Your lone, tiny tank takes out a massive combat helicopter, several Military Mashup Machines, a fully armed battleship, and whatever the hell the Q-Stein Emperor is.Though only somewhat, as despite the seriousness of the plot, most of the characters have a fairly upbeat attitude- especially Jevons. Darker and Edgier: This game as compared to the rest of the Choro Q games.It has American tanks, but as said above, it's a world where not only is there no America, there aren't any humans. Covers Always Lie: This game has nothing to do with America, despite what the American cover might suggest.You can equip a main gun and up to two sub-weapons depending on the tank, as well as different paint jobs, turret gears, engines, radars, computers, treads, armors, internal devices (speed loaders, night vision gear, etc.) and 'special' parts ( jet engines for flight, outboard motor for water travel, etc.) Character Customization: You can choose from a wide variety of tanks and parts.For extra Goodness, equip the Side Saw sub-weapon in tandem with the front saw.

Chainsaw Good: You can strap a giant chainsaw to the front of your tank.

The Captain: Captain Bourne, a green-striped, tan Merkava III who leads The Remnant of Nibelia's forces during the counter-offensive against Q-Stein.

Boring, but Practical: Weapons like the missile launchers, which are just plain missile launchers but can do damage to tanks and anything that flies.

The Kings of Proton and Nibelia, an M24 Chaffee and Sherman Firefly, respectively, are shiny white/ pink with gold/blue detailing.

Bling of War: In the form of Requisite Royal Regalia.

This goes for your side as well- Major Rodeschild, a blue-and-white-striped M 1 A 1 Abrams with the Proton symbol on his turret, can hold his own in combat- more then can be said for any of the Red Shirts.

Authority Equals Asskicking: Q-Stein leaders are much tougher then their subordinates- and often larger.

You need to get one of these in order to progress through the campaign to Nibelia, an island nation sandwiched between Proton and Q-Stein.

Amphibious Automobile: You can equip inflatable floats or various grades of outboard motor in order to cross water.

American Kirby Is Hardcore: Seek and Destroy is the best example of this in the Choro Q series.

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: You never receive a discount on shop purchases.

They typically have better stats then other tanks of their type- including yours.

You'll recognize them as pitch-black tanks with the red Q-Stein 'Q' on the side. Ace Custom: Q-Stein squad leaders are these.
