I was actually kind of amused by that. My wife and I duo'd SSA7 the day it came out. She on her ill/rad troller, and me on my fire/sr scrapper.
My fire/sr is softcapped, so I didn't get hit by the explosion when the first few tanks died. In fact, I didn't really even notice it.
When we got down to the area where there were 6 or 8 of them parked close together, I jumped in the middle of them and started killing one. When it died, it set off a chain reaction and they all went up, killing me instantly. My wife and I both laughed about that.

It would have been cool, but it's very doubtful that it would be easy to do. The tanks in RWZ are little more than an animation, they never actually fire or deviate from their course, and can't be attacked.|

I'd bet good money that the original version of the mission was supposed to have tanks that would move around firing, but was scrapped for being too difficult.
(can't comment on the DA part, not done any of that content yet)

Why are you assuming they're at all related? No name changes for pedantry, thanks.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
Just a couple of things here:
Who Will Die 7 - Warburg has more missiles than the US, Russia or China??? A simple statement about red-tape or bureaucracy with the major powers serves to get rid of this concern.
Also....Tanks not defending themselves made me sad and served as the major disappointment for this arch....I was looking forward to actual moving, active ground vehicles...you already have moving ground vehicles in RWZ...attack animations should mostly be limited to power effects (unless you also want the turret to move around...which would be cool) so would it be easy to set up a mobile vehicle for us to fight....so that...one day, we could find ourselves facing a Nemesis mole machine in battle? or something else equally cool and interesting

It would be nice if we at least could warn Solaris about Arilia's plan...I know that would likely lead to a "she was too late" moment...but still, if we've done the WWD archs, we'd know about it...of course, there might be some problem with spoilers...and I'm not sure whether WWD takes place before or after DA goes Lovecraft or not, but still, would be nice to have the option
