  1. Great video and as always a touch of the real. Do a quick mental breakdown of how an army fights in the front line in % terms - tanks, AFVs/APCs/IFVs then the soft targets. Even a tank with one track broken is a very expensive pillbox.

  2.  @genericpersonx333  some very similar issues here to what the USAF faced in Vietnam re visual ID?

  3. I think the Belgrano was sunk for just that reason - it's guns would have been very effective against a fleet built for the 70s and 80s not the 40s?

  4.  @forcea1454  very true - my suggestion was that her guns were not old or outdated and she would have been a significant threat.

  5.  @DamianMaisano  that was my understanding also. She was a significant threat, despite her age.

  6.  @forcea1454  apols I have just deleted a post... too many postings, and my fault. Yes, she would have been a priority target by what ever means the task force had, I was thinking more of why she was was felt to be such a threat, ie big guns, unarmoured modern warships, and use of ships like the QEII as troop ships.
