The usa being left behind

Again the m1128 may not be 1000% a light tank but at its core it is.

tank destroyer

below discussed br
the others are right yes

Notice how i said wheely bois the top, doesnt matter the gun if its a 105, a 120 or even a 30mm. There all in this discussion

ok explain to me how spaas and artillery system at their core are light tanks

The wiesel i would be ok as example to place as light. But artillery systems or spaas realy aint light tanks

Sweden has CV90 120, Strf 9040C, CV30 FIN, Strf 40B, UDES, PBV, Strf 9040 BILL, CV9035 DK, CV90 105, and CT-CV 105HP or Patria. 10 again

sweden, italy and us are the best top tier light nation

that is my main argument and point

There is a stryker with a mortar in the back, is it a arty? YES. But the chassis is light, or the linebacker, its 90% light tank and only has stingers. Both of these vics except for the mortar stryker can fill the light tank role.

No armor best armor

German and French Military theorists during the 1960s

The linebacker having 4 missles while still having all the qualities to be a light tank means it can still fill that role if needed.

For ounce we can agree

you are definining your own term for light tanks

that just is in fact not what a light tank is. artillery systems and spaas generaly dont directly engange with enemys that is the fact. In that regards the armament is the main defining feature not the chassis,

Going of your definition the namer ifv would needs to be an mbt same as the sholef instead of tank destroyer and light. which define their role

The Tam according to the Argentinians is a MBT but it is at heart a light tank hence why it is in the light tank part of the tree so I think if it fits and works in that role it is technically that role

god, i completly forgot that fact again as well. the tams dont even realy count as lights

Then CV90-105 and 120s arent then?

Im saying the stryker, namer, and centauro can still fit that role. In today’s times tanks arent one thing. Most can fit multiple roles. That’s literally ameirca military doctrine.

those are light tanks yes, they are meaned as light tanks

the tam name literaly means medium tank in spanish

funny thing, spaas and artillerys dont fit the role of a light

Yeah take the M10 it is a Tam like LIGHT tank but it was designed to fit multiple role such as infantry support and anti tank

i mean main caliber ones can be debated yes

but spaas and artillery system cant realy be put as light tanks
