Modern artillery is also markedly more difficult to destroy with a swarm of small arms fire like what brought down that A10.


Or the 30 Apaches Longbows that got shot up on their first mission and had to sit out the rest of the war. Doh.

I'm going to make such a shitty Air Force Officer. Does the Army need laser physicists?


Possibly

Chairman Mao wrote:

Well, maybe. I know they want all this stuff to be air transportable in larger numbers than flying in individual M1's at a time. A 40-ton vehicle system could be transported three at a time by this, but if it were up to me they should just make faster Ro-ro's.

GAY! then we can look like the South African army! I know! Lets put everying on easily armoured and durable wheels.


Now that would be silly.

Actually I meant the same heavy, tracked chassis. If the grunts are going to ride into battle with the tanks, they'll need equivalent protection. And why not keep parts comonality between vehicles to make supply easier?

The problem with flying everything in is that wherever we are going the enemy doesn't have to fly. They just have to roll out of their motorpools. So yes, faster Ro-Ro's is a better answer. But I actually thing the SBCT is on the right track. I don't think of them as an armored force. Just a medium infantry force with excellent strategic and tacticle mobility. Not as a replacement for heavy armor, but to supplement it.
