Reply #5: Tanks are sitting ducks in cities without infantry support. [View All]

Encounter same problems as the AAVP7A1, too large to be useful in cities. The biggest vulberability of tanks is from the rear, where the armor is the lightest, imagine how easy it is to flank a tank in any city, even modern ones. Too much cover for the lightly armed and armored insurgents. Plus tanks are anything but swift in attack from any angle but the front, and best against other armored vehicles and stationary targets. Not to mention that mobility is limited to wide roads only, not the many winding streets designed for more modest vehicles.
