          A tank is a tracked vehicle that's designed to support infantry with direct fire.

          This is distinct from an IFV (a heavy vehicle designed to carry infantry and also provide fire support), an APC (lighter than an IFV, also carries infantry), a self propelled gun (an artillery piece with armor and tracks) and a bunch of other shit.

            The Howitzer and Bradley are and can be tracked.
            You can support infantry with direct fire from either.
            Therefore.
            Howitzers and Brads are tanks.

      neverserved noguns pacifist tourist here's my idea of how this works based on my BF2142 knowledge:
      MBT>modern IFV>light tanks>IFV>everyone else>ATGMs>AFV
      This is excluding planes, ships, artillery and all but you might want to consider attack helicopters somewhere below IFVs and my ranking does of course generalize things a fair bit.

      also I just learned this to fall under assault gun because it's a self propelled artillery platform with auxiliary machine gun

      I don't understand why my autism compells me to learn this but please r8 my wikipedia snippets and bradley is a modern IFV, but I don't know anything about it specifically

        >light tanks

        A lighter tank designed for reconnaissance, airborne operations, or other tasks where a heavy tank is too logistically difficult to field. Was obsolete for a while, but is coming back in some roles because of how difficult force projection is in a world with cheap missiles.

        Not really. It's a self propelled howitzer, i.e. indirect fire long range artillery piece put onto armored chassis to give it protection and mobility to increase it's chances of survival against counterbattery fire, enemy air assets and other nuisance.
        Assault guns were armored vehicles intended to bring big guns to forward areas (i.e. into direct combat) mostly to blow up enemy fortifications, buildings etc. plus a little bit of that good old shelling. A bit of an outdated concept now when tanks with 100+ mm guns can do most of the direct fire work themselves and modern communications let you precisely direct artillery from far away. There was some overlap between assault guns and tank destroyers, and they fell out of favor some time after WWII, with Swedes being probably the last ones to design and put into service new assault guns (they mostly repurposed older tank chassis for that to extend their useful lifespan and give their infantry units more firepower).

        Depends on if theres a real difference between a Casemate Tank Destroyer/Assault Gun, and Self propelled Artillery, but yes it did happen a lot in WW2, including using direct fire SPAA.
        A Casemate TD/assault gun is or was an artillery gun on a chasis designed for direct fire, but could also be used for indirect fire, being essentially mobile artillery pieces. However they were generally more useful as multi-role Tank Destroyers as well as assault guns, despite them not being originally intended for that role. Ones which received a heavily armoured superstructure (Stug, SU-85, SU-152, Bishop) and those which received a more lightly armoured and open top superstructure (Sexton, Hummel, Marder) were both extremely similar and often used for direct fire as well as indirect fire, although the more open top ones had more elevation and so were better at indirect fire but more vulnerable for direct fire.
        Even vehicles which were just cars or tractors with guns attached on for mobile artillery or AA support could and did use them in direct fire, often by neccessity in the early war when the long 88s were pressed from AA/artillery into killing KV-1s which panzer III's were having a hard time with.

        That being said, depending on the vantage point and elevation, direct fire and indirect fire can just be the same thing. For example the FV4005 tank destroyer was designed to lob 183mm explosive shells across the fulda gap to blow up T-55s, it wasnt designed for front line use but was intendended to see its target directly, although it was absolutely capable of acting like artillery, is it direct fire or indirect fire when its at a vantage point where it can see enemies 10km away? Modern self propelled howitzers arent designed for direct fire but are still capable of it, its just if theyre used for that, then 'direct fire' is ideally (unless theyre caught out of position) going to mean from a good vantage point where they can directly see what theyre shooting at.

      Depends on context imo.
      By strict technical/academic definition, no, SPGs and IFVs arent tanks. But if a giant armoured box turns up in your town and starts blowing things up, then sure its a tank. If youre looking at it from a. distance and cant tell, then sure its a tank. If youre getting shot by it and dont have heavy weapons, then as far as youre concerned, its a tank. Really originally tanks were anti infantry weapons, and todays IFVs arent a million miles away from interwar or early ww2 light or medium tanks in terms of their calibre and (base) armour. The difference between an artillery gun and a tank cannon is a bit wishy washy, especially as many WW2 SPGs outright did just have howtizers, and the origins of many famous tank guns are in repurposed artillery guns, e.g. Long 88. So yeah sure, if youre a military planner its not a tank, if youre on the receiving end then its a tank as far as you care, the difference is role related, which you wont care about if its trying to kill you.

          Yes but thats just a prevalent modern feature, not entirely inherent to tank cannons. Imo a SPG is of the class of 'tanks', even if it isnt a 'tank' in its modern role, as its a heavily armed armoured box with tracks. If you saw it from a distance or were subject to direct fire, you'd say its a tank. In ww2 the class of SPGs were often used in a direct fire role or specifically built as tank destroyers, in fact they most commonly were built as multi-role vehicles capable of being tank destroyers, they were tanks as far as anyone was concerned. Its not the intended role of modern ones, as theyre ot primarily intended for direct fire, but theyre able to fill that role if need be, and so can be called 'tanks' imo. Its just MBTs are a lot better at being a tank as opposed to artillery.

      Direct hit with a 155mm HE? Best case is that the tank is mission killed by all its optics being shattered by overpressure and shock, worse case is that said shock and overpressure both ruptures the crews organs and makes it look like they slammed into a concrete wall at 50 miles per hour.

      It would kill the tank. However, the M109 doesn't have the direct-fire fire control, the sensors, the rate of fire, or the armor to survive an encounter with a M1 unless it gets very, very lucky. Dueling tanks is *not* an intended mission for a howitzer; it's a capability reserved for self-defense when there are no other options.

      One could call this a tank yes, an enclosed heavily armed and armored combat vehicle that moves on tracks, but it would make as much sense as calling a M16 a machine gun.
      The concept evolved.
      This age old nerd debate was reignited by the delivery of the AMX-10 and now involves normies, so there is a lot a of brain fart gas filling the forums.
      If the AMX-10 is a tank then pic related was one too, because the have the same role on the battlefield.

      The first use of a tank was in the battle of the battle of the Somme. British Mk.I tanks were used.

        According to the ATF it is.
        There's various assault/battle rifles with a machine gun equivalent that simply has some modifications to easier sustain automatic fire such as a heavier barrel, option for belt feeding or a swapping mechanism.
        The difference between assault rifle and machine gun is more a question of doctrine than design.

          They're not. Naming conventions in militaries are doctrinal, not based on their external features. A tank destroyer is a tank destroyer, no matter if it would qualify as a tank based on its other features. It's the stumbling block most people have when they try to understand what constitutes a certain piece of equipment.

      They are heavily modified Bradleys, yeah, with the troop transport replaced with more ammo and the autocannon replaced with something more comparable to the tank cannons used by GDI.
      Later in the war they would replace that Black person-rigged stupid contraption with the actual purpose built light tanks we see in Renegade.

          cause it's fricking fun and there's very little like it. You'd think an RTS game but it's a wide open shooter where you play as one of the units would have been a no-brainer but Renegade is kinda 'it' as far as the subgenre goes.
          Oh, and if you're interested check out Renegade X. It's a freeware, standalone remake of Renegade's multiplayer on the unreal engine, and got a reasonably active playerbase.

      Bradley's appear in some of the first games cutscenes but there was also a unique light tank design used in one of the cutscenes where it follow 2 recon bikes and 2 Nod buggy's. Here are all Nod light tanks in the cutscenes.

          To allow U.S. Army cavalry units to be equipped with armored fighting vehicles, the tanks developed for the cavalry were designated "combat cars".[note 1]
          [note 1] The same loophole was used for Japan's Type 92 heavy armoured car, a light tank for the cavalry.

    The 1992 Treaty On Conventional Armed Forces in Europe attempted to formalize the classifications a bit. An APC was said to be a self-propelled armored vehicle with an integrated gun of less than 20 mm, an IFV was the same but with a gun of 20 mm or more (and usually also missiles), and a "battle tank" was one with an integrated gun of 75 mm or more. Both IFVs and APCs were further distinguished from battle tanks by the requirement that they're "designed and equipped primarily to transport a combat infantry squad", and that a battle tank had to be at least 16.5 tons while the APC and IFV classification had no weight limit. Self-propelled guns, weirdly, were not classified, though the battle tank classification did have its own requirements of "360-degree traverse gun" and "high self-protection" to seemingly avoid self-propelled guns being classified as such.

    No, I don't know where this leaves the M3.
