Default Re: Tank carry capacity

I suspect it's more a matter of :

A) More infantry transports being available.
B) The new "safe" military.

Many things that were standard practice up till the 70's became "too dangerous" in the 80's for many western nations (notibly the USA).

Much like the current trend toward trying to turn HMMWV's into armored cars.

May want to change this to "which non engineer/mine clearing tanks that do not have an active defence system don't have a carry capacity?"
