Yeah, tanks are useless against the likes of ISIS and Al Qaeda, at least as long as you can't go scorched earth. I'm not surprised by this.
Then why so many videos from Syria where tanks are blowing the shite out of rebel held buildings?

On a positive note, you will soon have women on the crews. So you got that going for you, which is nice.

They should disqualify the German squad for not having a diversified fighting force, it's not fair that they only have whites fighting for Germany in their top tank force.

Like coed softball.
Every tank crew needs one female, one transgender, one black and one Hispanic.
Then let's see those frickers beat us while they're laughing their asses off

Be glad when Trump gets elected so next year when we lose Tiger23 and Stannix can completely reverse their roles and make excuses as to why its not really a bad thing or important, or we intentionally threw the contest to get a psychological edge.
Going to be fun watching them go from constant critics of the government to constant apologists for it.

There will be a lot of roles reversed, yours included.

For those who have never served, imagine LSU just lost to ULM in Tiger Stadium at night. That's what this is like.
That's pretty rough.
I thought the new idea was russian tactics with better equipment?
Or no?

It doesn't matter who won or lost as long as everyone had fun.

This is part of a larger problem. We don't spend enough time on basic warfighting skills.

I tempering reading an AAR a few years ago after my unit did a "hybrid warfare" scenario at hoenfields and many of the Ocs complaints were about lack of basic war fighting skills. They also were pisswd that there was a lack of field sanitation and people were pooping right by fighting positions.
There's been an over focus on technical skill and atrophy of basic war fighting skills.

With all the cuts to training, this has been a long time coming.
Did we have a competition on how many hours you can take of on-line classes telling you not to rape and be EO compliant? I can guarantee you we got that competition.
