  1.  @Panocek  "Ammunition is always cheaper than the target." Yes, but that's not a dispensation, it's a design specification.

  3. Yea, it's a desert tank. I imagine it's track loading would not play well with winter mud and snow. A fair weather tank under Eastern European conditions.

  4. I liked the 20th century types in Steel Panthers III, used the hell out of the "carries infantry" feature.

  5. You still need mobility in warfare. Subtract tanks and you've got WW1. Drones are a gimmick waiting for a cheap counter. Some low-caliber point defense pod like a phalanx scaled down to fire .22 WMR, or even a laser. Drones will be around for a while, especially for recon, because they can be cheap, but the current state of drone isn't going to make the tank obsolete.

  6.  @delpoxi2958  It seems to me that the judicial reform isn't stupid. If you have a sovereign branch of government appointing its own successors with no input from the electorate you don't have a democracy. Sometimes leftists are fine with that as long as the dictators in funny suits are doing what they want but that sort of thing never ends ends well.
