Introduction
Shields are defensive items that can be carried by a tank.

Sleds
This class of shield are made of tanks attached at the barrel. They spawn in a similar fashion to a boss during the game and come in 3 forms. Each sled will have the accumulated stats of the tanks they are composed of and can regenerate health or be destroyed in a similar way. They will absorb damage from ammunition and collisions.

Players move their tank to cover the centroid of the sled and press 't' to attach and detach to and from the sled. The host tank will retain all its own stats and special abilities, except for its speed, which will match the base speed of a Tier 1 tank. Kickback from launching ammunition is also reduced.
