why are tank haters like this despite the fact that tanks are still being used?
The tank in your image is obsolete tho
can it really if it doesn't exist?
Parade tanks will never be obsolete as long there are parades
The t-14 cant even operate during parades
Their job is to be on parade, not be operational
russians trying to make excuses for their high losses despite the fact the ukranians are making great use of the tanks they have
Victor bias: People playing the lottery only see the guy winning it all not the millions that got nothing. The same with man portable AT: They only see the guy pulling off an AT kill, never the dozen guys splattered against the background to get him there.
Tanks aren't going to be used any more because of drones and artillery assisted by AI. Surface warfare is going to be impossible in the future, it will be a no mans land. Everybody will dig underground to fight in tunnels miles underground.
>Drones
Crappy planes that melt to dedicated AA have existed since before tanks however
You ever see the Desert Storm webm? That's a lot like what future warfare will be. You can't step on the surface or the AI realizes you're a human and tells the super artillery, drones, aircraft, and long range missiles to blow you up. Everything is going to be underground in the future, and it has to be miles deep or they can still penetrate it from the surface.
Even if gets to be like that, something tracked, armored, with the ability to engage the enemy directly sounds like the ideal platform for subterranean warfare.
Not really a tank but yeah subterrenes are cool.
Drones are successful because you can make countless millions of them. They'll be rolling off the production lines every 5 seconds and you can block out the sky with them.
>AI controlled APS with your 3M forcefield
Gets obliterated by AI assisted Iron Hand drones with forcefield-penetrating weaponry.
The general trend is that offense will always beat defense. Therefore the best defense against this new age of warfare is offense in a different dimension - the depths.
APS is literally offense anon. offense against shells too small to have a defense.
>Drones will roll out every 5 secs
May I see?
Tell me you post in spacebattles without telling me.
Drones suffer from survivor bias too, and they have been successful in Ukraine because russians are that incompetent.
Here is one for your escalation, you just out an AI controlled APS with your 3M forcefield generator and your super advanced drones become shit.
>drones and artillery assisted by AI
if we are so desperated to the point using AI to operate our weapons then the humanity is fucked anyway
AI is far more capable than any human, much faster, much more accurate. Why not use it? It could determine if some speck on the ground is a human, a vehicle, etc. It could control thousands of systems at once, coordinating them for massive effect at the behest of a human master.
>hides missiles in a cardboard box
oops we did it again
>The FLIR TG165 proved to Recochem that thermal imaging cameras can see through cardboard and check the pattern and size of the applied glue spots.
Uh oh, surfacesisters, what do we do? We need to bring out the fighting mole men again!
>Everybody will dig underground to fight in tunnels miles underground.
God I'm so fucking hard right now
>echocolate
Wtf kind of zoomer nonsense is this? Chocolate is chocolate.
This has to be one of the dumbest shitposts I've ever read.
Thank you.
You are a fucking retard.
and how is direct fire support obtained now?
>vatmoron having a straw man meltdown in public
Great thread.
>use tanks wrong way in urban areas or without tons of assistant troops
>le tanks got destroyed
>"REEEEE TANKS ARE LE OBSOLETE"
cope seeth and dilate tank haters, tanks only get wrecked when you use them wrong
>this $200,000 weapon can destroy a $20 million tank
how do we cope now tank bros
>this 5,730 Reichsmark weapon can destroy a 100,000+ RM tank
How do we cope, Wehrbros?
if only you knew how bad things really are
They're unloading T-10s to use now.
Ziggers and hohols can't into combined arms warfare. There's never "let's smoke out their position and advance using GPS" or "let's not zerg rush through a minefield", Slavs just rush B and that's it.
>"let's not zerg rush through a minefield
Ah yes the famous NATO doctrine of just driving around the minefield
NATO’s tactics are predicated in the assumption that they have air superiority and can perform effective SEAD/DEAD
>stale muh bothsides copypasta
Kys, pajeet.
you are a retard
>tanks got destroyed in WW1
>"NOOO TANKS ARE OBSOLETED"
>tanks got destroyed in WW2
>"NOOO TANKS ARE OBSOLETED"
literally nobody said that
Difference is that tanks in ww1 and ww2 made breakthroughs. Now they cant. This war is gonna end up expending all the tank stocks of NATO and Russia and everyone will see they are useless now and abandon building more, expect poles who are retarded and have decided to buy like a thousand new tanks which of course is par for the course since they famously still used cavalry in ww2.
Lol, the fuck are you on about you retard? We haven't bought ''thousands'' of tanks. And tanks are still part of warfare, whether you like it or not.
> a thousand new tanks
I didnt say thousands I said "a thousand" which is correct and 250 Abrams on top of these. Yes tanks are part of warfare and cavalry was part of warfare in ww1. Dumb pollacks are spending hundreds of millions (of lets face it german tax payer money since poland is the biggest welfare queen in the EU) to buy obsolete tech because they have once again caught retarded imperial ambitions which hopefully will again end in poland being partitioned like it has every in the past.
Tanks are NOT going to be obsolete, you retard.
>Invented as a breakthrough weapon
>Can no longer make breakthroughs
It is obsolete to the point where they are being used as simply shittier form of self propelled artillery in ukraine since they can no longer do what they were actually meant for because any mobik on either side with a days training and a 10 000 dollar rocket can easily wreck a million dollar tank
Cope more, Vatshit.
Russians are using the tanks as improvised artillery too, Im trying to talk about tanks but all you can do is bark about vatniks at anything that upsets you
Will you binary brains just go back to r*ddit and stop shitting up my board?
Tanks are not obsolete in modern warfare moron. Stop spewing nonsense.
Also, Germshits do NOT pay for this. Those are Polish money, you Rusniger vatshit.
People are weirdly shocked that ground units take losses. The gulf war may have spoiled us.
Because armchair generals misunderstand what it means for something to be obsolete. A weapon isn't obsolete if there's something that can counter it. A weapon is obsolete if there's another weapon that can do it's same job but better.
And so far there's still no army that can deny the usefulness of a heavy gun on treads that's immune to small arms fire.
