These are fucking useless
>>540453440Well yeah thats why they're not really building them anymore and focusing on smaller, cheaper, faster moving stuffBut it also depends on the type of war.
>>540453564they shouldnt have built them from the beginning they wasted BILLIONS AND BILLIONS
The American Military machine, in its leaning into war with Russia, neglected to inform us that they had a new technology come around which continues to pass through to Ukraine as an un-named M97379874, that apparently can "Pack a punch" 8% of a full E=MC^2 nuclear WMD yield, but fits inside a loaf of breadbox and zero detectable Ionizing radiation left over. Theories for what technology is being used, maybe it's some kind of Bose-einstein condensate of a doped Hexa-Cobalt Beryllium crystal condensed, we're not quite sure. But it can one shot any tank, even an M1 Abrams and the Mossad Merkava. It is able to project this E=MC^2 into a direction as well, cutting through 4000 millimeters of the densest material that mankind can produce.tldr: Tanks are done. A baseball on a drone can one shot them.
>>540453440Hear me out.If you strapped niggers to the hull and turret would that provide adequate protection against drone strikes? I mean they have to be useful for something right
>>540453440You are fucking useless
>>540453440>These are fucking uselessYeah mostly for show now. Also money laundering.
>>540453746tanks are done, infantry are done, jet fighters are done you can one shot everythingeverything is done only thing left is nukes.
>>540453564Retard they plan to pump out 20 a month of the new variant, and it's still way heavier than Russian/Chinese ones
An unbounded amount of energy can in theory be packed into a plasma based prick, and the amount of cutting power physics limits is effectively infinite, because speed of light is a thing we can make. However, the amount of sticking power in an ionic, covalent and hexafuidic triple bond between atoms, has a limit which is comically weak. Suffice it to say your 400 millimeter sheet of depleted uranium protecting your tank may sound like a blinging gong when you hit it with a nail, but when compared to ion jets which approach light speed, the toughest armor you can make is a fluid relative to plasma jets. This is why the evolved animals don't have armor exoskelitons, you're wasting your time if you're trying to hide in an obsidian box and saying: "nobody can get at me because i'm in obsidian cube". Nay philistine, you are in a box made of butter.
>>540453736They were designed with a mass armored war against the Soviet Union in mind. Tanks have only really started becoming obsolete beginning in the 1990's with the advent of, e.g, the Javelin missile, and now with drone warfare. It's easy to call it a waste in hindsight, but they weren't at the time they were designed and built.
>>54045400320 a month is literally nothingthey built like 100,000 tanks in like 6 years in WW2
>>540453440A drone tank with little to no armor due to not having any squishy humans inside could zoom around the battlefield at hundreds of miles per hour.
>>540453862>infantry are done>t. some fucking POG, probably No, we're not
>>54045344070km/h Abrams is crazy fast.
>>540454517The whole purpose of the armor is to protect the humans inside. The armor doesn't matter if you can blow up the tank.
>>540454726It basically has a jet engine in ithttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avco-Lycoming_AGT1500
I think tanks still have a limited role because you already eventually need boots on the ground. Yes drones have changed everything. But someone has to be the tip of the spear when you are trying to physically take ground on a battlefield. The winning side will probably have their own drones supporting armor with humans inside.
>>540455350Tanks are still useful (it's a mobile cannon / machine gun platform that's impervious to bullets), the issue is just that the defensive technology hasn't caught up to the offensive advances (drones and modern ATGM's). Give it a decade for active defense / loyal wingman-esque counter-drone swarms to mature
>>540453564>Well yeah thats why they're not really building them anymore and focusing on smaller, cheaper, faster moving stuffThat's pretty much been the case since WW2. You'll get retards on here trying to talk up the German tanks but the Germans were complete fucking idiots, building bigger and heavier tanks when they had no fucking fuel (that also needed 10 times more hours in maintenance than in use).The americans would just zip straight around SuperKingTigerPanther junk in their smaller lighter tanks and call in airsupport to take out the useless immobile whales.
>>540453440OK let's make it legal to own one
>>540455984Jewish propaganda and nigger tranny jidf post. Bigger tank literally=good in the age of big guns from ww2. Hell the Maus was a genius idea. It's a combined arms tank and needs infantry and aerial cover. If you attack the vanguard you forget to attack the maus. You attack the maus, the vanguard moves. You're brown and watch a bunch of state funded YouTubers that are paid to deradicalized children into thinking German WW2 weapons weren't good or mythical. Truth is they were mythical. You're brown, and when it was revealed companies pay people to downplay Nazi military tech to prevent whites from realizing their roots. I get nasty. I became a national socialist for my love of their uniforms and weapons and them eventually looked into the idealism of them and their beliefs and became a full on esoteric black sun lover. The Nazi tech to unironic Nazi supporter pipeline is real. Eat shit nigger.
>>540453440they were last kinda useful in Desert Storm but their time is past, any nation with good helicopters or ground attack aircraft or something akin to javelins takes them out, and now drones take them out.
>>540456020They are
