I was hence the IFV on IFV battle tanks were trying to keep clear if you are not one of the big players there armour will not stand up to an ATGM well either but tanks are still the best thing to attack with as more manevourable. Mad few turns with 20-30 ATGMs criss crossing the battlefield & huge dolops of lead in the form of cannon fire meaning if you survive cant hit squat as suppresed.
Because they can move even if only a couple of hexes tanks have to be wary they now have an ambush capability they never had. Can move to the crest or treeline & take that flank shot now. Before they were easy meat could take the shot move so out of LOS & be safe now they can risk moving to retaliate so its a much more fluid situation. They did not make effective overwatch vehicles because of the loss of shot if moved now they can jiggle for position a bit so you cant just move out of LOS & say I am pretty safe.
