USMC doctrine is that tanks are infantry support NOT anti-armor.
The USMC uses close air support, helos, and ATGMs for anti-armor. |
I realize having read you saying this about USMC anti-armor doctrine many times
I've just been finding that the number one Support job is anti-armor. My jarheads are doing just fine on their own once the tank layer is gutted.
***HORRIFIED SCREAM***
Just started Mission 4... 20 artillery sections and 8 MLRS just opened up on me. I can see 45 tanks 15 Helos and a wall of APCs.
Wishing I had traded the frickin Abrams in but I got stubborn and I didn't.
