Default Re: Bradley vs Abrams

TA-ATGM can hit a vehicle from the top where it has minimum armor. Most of the time that means the destruction of the target no matter how much armor it has anywhere else.

The problem with ATGMs is that they can be stopped/fooled if the target has CWIS or VIRSS.

The problem with Bradley's and other similar units is that they are easier to destroy. Even with normal artillery you have higher chance of destroying one than a MBT.
MBTs are mocked often, but when they break your lines after some proper artillery barrage to suppress the ATGMs, then the only one laughing is the one with the MBTs.
