MBTs are the Dreadnoughts of the ground battle
usually they don’t fight each other
Well yeah, they always seem to get destroyed before even getting into the range of enemy MBTs.
I get why tanks/armored vehicles are still being developed, but just like Battleships and Dreadnoughts before, MBTs don’t seem practical or economical anymore
in any situation where an MBT isn’t countered by another MBT or equally heavy equipment like a strike fighter it will be a good reason for hostile infantry to hide and run away, becausw unlike an IFV which can fairly easily be taken out of the fight with an RPG an MBT will usually suck the grenade up and keep going
when the enemy brings an IFV your objective of the day doesn’t change, when an MBT shows up the priority shifts towards taking that goddamn tank out
also don’t forget that everything has it’s vulnerabilities and it’s just sth you need to accept

Air Conditioning lol
F-15Cs also equip laser designator pods in the Sniper XR on the centerline pylon.
it was very warm in Afghanistan… without AC in the tank
I’m not trying to argue here, I’m genuinely wondering how MBTs are supposed to survive in an environment where drones are so prevalent, cost efficient and effective
No doubts, just seems a bit weird to list that as a bullet point
the tank doesn’t need to survive to achieve it’s purpose
war doesn’t care about lives
Agree to the Russian part, not so much to the Chinese.
It should be announced now on Friday because Brasil Independence Day is celebrated on September 7th.

So that is why Germany is ordering around 123 2A8s themself?
As much as I like the look of the tank, Germany (and Sweden too of course) should not receive any new MBTs in the near future due to how dominant the 2A7s (and Strv 122) are.

Well, Germany needs to get more Leopard 2A7A1 and 2A8, so that Germany would have the same 3 armored Leo as Sweden.
- 2A7A1 (2021)
- 2A8

Chinese Radars and airframes are still behind the West.
The PL-15 is an excellent missile but it’s no Meteor or AIM 260…
That’s an abandoned tank you don’t have all the hatches open.
If the hatches are closed they drop the grenade on the engine bed, we have seen it before.

PL17 has 500km range 200 km more than even meteor, Chinese modern AESA is better than even the US ones thanks to the non relenting use of gallium arsenide parts, PL15/PL16 have at least 50km more range than any ARAAM and if we get to BVR, F35/F22 will have trouble with agility and radar respectively.
Incorrect. The R-77-1 in the files is already exceeds every missile in-game including the C-5 in the files
Yeah and they can do that after not getting any new MBTs for the next 6 months.
