The Barrier Tank is a tank created by RavenKing123.

Design
The Barrier Tank has three forms - Deflector Form, Shield Form, and Turtle Form. In all forms, it is a tank hull with two normal cannons on top making an X shape. Deflector Form has a grey shield in a V shape, made so the cannons fire just outside of it. Shield Form has a simple horizontal shield on front, while Turtle Form has that shield wrapped around it, leaving only the back open.

Technical
The main aspect of the Barrier Tank are its forms. It starts in Shield Form, cycling through using I and O. For all forms, the shield absorbs bullets completely, granting immunity to whatever parts are covered by it, however, in Deflector Form, any enemy bullets hitting the shield are sent straight backwards and changed to your color.

Strategy
This tank, with minimal firepower, has not a role as a fighter, but as a tank, having three distinct playstyles due to its forms. In Turtle Form, you can charge straight into battle, being basically immune. However, high speed and drone tanks can get behind and damage the weak point. If the tank turns around, it is exposed to the main attack force. It also cannot protect teammates. This form is the best form for FFA.

In Shield Form, your role is to be able to protect your teammates. This form, like all others, is weak to high speed and drone tanks. It can also be exploited by snipers, being able to move slightly sideways and get past the shield. This tank is a viable protector in any team mode.

Deflector Form is a very interesting form. It has the most attack, and requires much skill to turn around and quickly block bullets. It has the weaknesses of the Shield Form, as well as being weak to a group of enemies. It has a cool strategy with another Shield Form Barrier Tank. The Deflector can hide behind the shield, leaving its shield poking out, deflecting bullets, while the two spray bullets.

Trivia

 * (I think) the only playable tank to have 3 forms on this wiki.
 * The first of diep's and I's tanks to have non-auto mounted cannons.
