The question before us now is whether the tank is the modern equivalent of the battleship or the horse. And the weapon needs to be retired, perhaps to a nice stud farm where it can recall the glories of the past. In the case of the horse cavalry, the role has ended. The naval gunfire mission persisted, however, albeit from smaller vessels.
Navy battleships were in active service until 1990, when the costs to maintain them clearly outweighed their utility. In the case of the battleship, the platform may change, but not the function. What is the point to these anecdotes? There are two. Marshall used his executive-order authority, given after Pearl Harbor, to get rid of all the horses in the Army - and Herr. Herr was an obstacle to modernizing the Army with tanks, insisting that he would accept no increase in armor at the expense of horse-cavalry strength. The horse, however, was a different kind of problem for the Army. Navy was able to accommodate both the battleship and aircraft carrier in World War II, although the battleship mostly was relied upon to provide fire support, rather than crossing the T against an enemy battleline. If the BRs were expanded out to say 12 we could push these vehicles higher without compromising their performance.The U.S. BMP and Object 120 are ridiculous at 7.3, especially when you consider the Chinese version has a tandem warhead ATGM with 900mm of pen yet its at the same BR. Rather than lowering BRs, I think we need to start raising them. In my experience with the Tiger2(either one) getting uptiered to 7.3 is not very uncommon, and majority of 7.3 vehicles have APDS or HEAT-FS which completely demolishes Tiger2 armor and are often more maneuverable then german heavysĮDIT: They are not "Modern" tanks but they are significantly better then late war german heavys The IS-6 isn't postwar, it was produced and tested in 1944 before development ceased in 1945 and it has the same rounds as the IS-2, albeit with a faster reload. Tiger 2s and maus would dominate if they only faced world war 2. Originally posted by hi_1002:You cannot face modern tanks at 6.7 and your gun can penetrate many tanks of the cold war.
