Default The Tank is dead

We have been hearing that the tank is dead for many years now...

ATGM, AT Helos, etc have killed the Tank as a threat.

So you have a very well trained Platoon or Company, say USMC or British Army, and you are attacked by 50-100 enemy Tanks, with armoured infantry support. Do you really think that even a well trained Company will win?

Well it might, maybe, Perhaps, given a good position, and time to improve it, and assorted armoured and air support.

But it also might not, it might kill around 50% of the enemy Tanks and then those Tanks might break through. That Company position might be passed and surrounded.

It is a shock thing. The Tank is dead? Really? Think about it...
