Americans, how can you call yourself better than other countries when you haven't even created super tanks yet?
>spends a ridiculous amount of money on military, but does not develop a weapon to flatten and crush your enemies
It would be unstoppable. Sure, modern anti tank weaponry is great. But if the tank was made large enough, it's armor would be too thick to be penetrated by any known weapon. Except perhaps Chinese railguns.
>shooting a rifle right into the armor of a super tank
That picture is retarded
Jackson White
Because no terrain is capable of allowing them to be truly mobile, same as always. Go be 15 somewhere else.
William Miller
He's probably used to fighting American tanks, which can be taken out by concentrated heavy machine gun fire.
Jaxson Price
>middle east >not flat Hmmm
Besides, it would be too big to give a shit about the terrain
Adam Bennett
Bolters can and will kill tanks in 40k lore though.
Imagine a supercharged gyrojet that fires APHE.
Mason Wilson
Then why the fuck would there be tanks as assault vehicles. That's why we stopped using unarmored trucks
Zachary Walker
Because handheld bolters that arent being used by space marines are rather rare, and there are only about a million marines in the galaxy at any one point.
Lasguns are the most common weapon in the 40K universe. I imagine armored trucks can stop shots from them just fine. Going up against someone with a Bolter would be like facing someone with a ASh-12.7. You don't really plan for it.
Thomas Walker
I gotta admit, when you foreign fucks are right. We really had hoped y'all hadn't noticed.
We'll work on it. Please give time.
Jayden Scott
Logistics, mechanics, and the fact that some shitter with an ATGM can kill it just like they do with regular tanks (yes there are countermeasures).
Also we have smart mines. Smart mines that kill tanks in a 2 mile radius.
Also we have infantrymen Infantrymen that kill tanks
The only countries that build "super" anything are those that dont have the capibality to build it smaller. I am convinced the T15 and T14 Armata are resigned T90s. Pls buff. Also pls buff T90.

The tracks won't be able to be blown off if you make them correctly.

Jaxson Smith
super heavy tanks are impractical no matter how much you shill them
Jeremiah Hall
hello enrich, how's the eastern front going?
Logan Sullivan
The abrams is already a heavy tank, the M1A2 is already close to the same weight as a King Tiger
Gavin Fisher
The LVT UX2 was probably a dry run on how to build an effective superheavy tank.
Hudson Roberts
aside from the russian tanks part he is right, drones are pretty cheap these days, what with china even selling them to iraq
Chase Ross
We literally had this thread yesterday dude. Just because you didn’t like our answer then doesn’t mean you will magically get one you like today. Just stop
Lincoln Barnes
Because when you act like Germany, aka making a tank the size of a house, you end up creating a giant piece of shit that goes 10 mph, gets stuck CONSTANTLY in mud, and eats through fuel like a motherfucker.
such a thing would cost like half a billion dollars to build or more and would be slow and immobile
Easton Murphy
It would cave in roads. We wouldn't be adverse to a 120-ton fuckoff machine that could obliterate an Abrams with dual 140mm guns, but it would be too heavy to transport or drive over bridges.
Tyler Hernandez
I mean, any of those scenarios are still better than getting the whole tank exploded with the same mine that only takes off a track from the supertank or would die to the first missile or shell that hit it
Aiden Jones
You can actually see where the MBT-70 and later Abrams evolved from this thing.
Austin Wood
Wouldn't that thing be putting immense ground pressure because of those threads?
Chase Mitchell
The reason that we're better is that we're smart enough to realize that super tanks are retarded idea that only wastes resources, and is pretty much useless for anything other then arguing with 13 year olds on a Cantonese underwater basket weaving forum. Instead, the US focuses on getting production efficiency and logistics down to an absolute science, which is boring to mouth-breathing children because something doesn't explode every six seconds, but actually does a hell of a lot more to win wars.
