Re: Icons and lbms
Starts to make you wonder if Tanks are on their way out.
I know we've all heard this song and dance before but with the introduction of top-attack ATGM's, depleted uranium armor, hyper-velocity missiles and guns, and bigger and bigger tank main guns it's getting to the point where a vehicle that can withstand the firepower of the battlefield to utilize the traditional mobility, shock, and firepower of the tank is getting so big and heavy I keep remembering the German JagdTiger or Maus - too big and heavy to be of any consequence because they couldn't go so many places due to ground pressure, inability to cross rivers (the bridges couldn't support them), and limited ammo supply due to the size of their guns.
I keep waiting for some new supertank named "Bolo Mk I" to be announced.
