I mean real AT
plane gets shot down by opposing airforce or battlefield air defence
Not the ones you'll have to flank to use
real AT gets suppressed by artillery
ikea, I've dropped enough hints at mo
time for you to get a clue
I think we're on different subjects
I'm talking about the need of tanks
And how it's a bit old fashioned
no one really envisions ANY system to opreate in solation on its own
combined arms
I know that
no one is advocating that tanks are obsolete
I'd say they might soon be
doubt it
Especially when you look at how much a single tank might cost
again look at trends
no one (who counts for shit) is giving up their tanks
downsizing yes, not replacing with newer designs yes
giving up? no
I'm not advocating for people to give up
on their tanks
But that they're changing roles
not suggesting you are, I'm telling you to look at trends
Tanks are getting more difficult to kill.
Easier* to kill
well potentially they have moved back to infantry tankjs
but thats because we're not fighting teh russians
They're getting harder to protect
Depends who you are up against really.
Yes, an Abrams is hard to kill
as is chally
But it costs a fuck ton for it to be that.
There are all kinds of countermeasures.
leos, easy
😛
need more booze
RPGs and whatnot can't even hit anymore.
It's not the old "add 30 more milimeters of steel!"
booze!! Dammit
