*New powerups include small tank, powerups that give points to player, all kinds of weapon powerups and others in addition to classic ones.
*Player cannot destroy their own home base walls.
*When player shoots another player's tank, it's just kicked back instead of losing mobility for a few seconds.
*There are 7 types of normal enemies in the game including new ones like flame tanks, dynamite-laying jeeps and others.
*Tank Force has 36 rounds total. Unlike Tank Battalion or Battle City, the game ends when completing all 36 rounds.External links
