*good points*
"The M1 Abrams tank has seen more combat than just about any other tank on the battlefield today. It has never been knocked out by enemy fire. (Completely killed). Ever.
China has less than 500 Type 99 tanks, that have just been developed, and are not even close to being as good as the Abrams. We have 8,700 Abrams."

Did you know that the M1 Abrams is no longer in production?
Also, I agree that it's a very good tank, but both the british Challenger or the German Leopard A5 (still in production) are excellent tanks too that not only are comparable to the Abrams, but also surpass it. In autonomy, for example.

That is very possible, I'm not really a tank expert. However, the numbers are overwhelming. The U.S. could have ~15 times the tank numbers of Europe (if they really have 18 times what China has).
|
The problem again is how do they bring those tanks over to Europe? By ships and only a few at a time.
Besides, the time where tanks were unbeatable war machines died as soon as the anti-tank rockets were created. They don't even need to destroy the machine, just break the chains to turn them into fixed artillery platforms.

True, they could bring them over but it would be really inefficient annd time consuming. I suppose it would matter more if Europe were attacking the U.S. lol
What's youre take on the fight? We never really establsihed a scenario in the thread lol
