      It depends, does it have a rotating turret and co-axial machine gun? If so, then it is a tank but I heard a theory they are just calling it a "fire support platform" because they want the crews to stick with the infantry and not go picking fights with tanks.

    • @dralord1307

      Not many people realize tanks have been around since even before roman times. "Will X make the tank obsolete" is a question been asked for a very very long time, and the answer is always, No. Tanks will change and upgrade. They might change armor style, get new counter measures etc, but I dont think any your or my lifetime they will be obsoleted out of usage.

    • @Niever

    No thumbs up, which I always do. If you’re discussing an American tank then please leave info about armor and speed in inches and mph, don’t mind if you add metric after or before. Also don’t mind if it’s a European or rest of the world vehicle placing metric first but I do like the silly American measurements after. Don’t expect the world to bend around me but nice to be included, we still love you all and assist when possible 😊

Along with a whole pile of other countries including NZ where I was a loader/operator/Crew Commander on one for a while. Not a bad tank but the powerplant was a PITA of maniacal Frankenstein-esque engineering. Bloody fast though although not as fast as the Centurion across rough ground.

      They took on T54/55 and PT 76s during the Vietnam war, they only took on T34s in Cuba. In both places they did astonishingly well against enemy tanks that were crewed by a professional fighting force. The myth that the NVA were farmers is honestly disrespectful to both the south Vietnamese and Americans who fought a professional army and to the north Vietnamese that were professional soldiers
