Pergite, open the game, launch a battle in "tank heavy" mode with enough points to have at least one tank squadron on each side. Place both on ridges at gun range. How many shots per kill? Last time I tried this (M1 IP vs. T-80b), there were about 4 shots for one hit and 5 hits for one kill.
Now try that on medium armor, even the best of IFV (NOT Strf-90C, that's cheating
).
I can understand why some say that thick armor and big guns will die hard. Light mobile forces with long-reaching smart weapons are fine so long as you keep the edge and a good standoff. As soon as you'll lose the initiative you're done.
Anyway I don't understand why the US military fear the Chinese that much? Do they fear an invasion? Would the Chinese manage what even the Japanese didn't try, when they have a whole continent as playground as long as they don't start playing silly buggers?
Oh, anyway, I guess some people can't feel good without an enemy, and that on both sides of the Pacific ocean... mmh, quite anywhere, indeed
