  1. American tanks were so much more numerous that German armor's advantage of front plate was negated by side and rear attacks in tag team tactics. They could only defend one direction and Americans could afford to come at them with 2 or more lighter tanks or attack vehicles from 2 or more directions, totally negating the head-on armor advantage. This was fairly characteristic of American vs German. Germans had better guns and armor, but they were slower, easier to break, and harder to fix. I've always been skeptical of tank doctrine. When two major powers face off, both sides will have satellite (so far), so troop and mechanized concentrations will be detect ed, and they can be annihilated by a growing array of drones and other stand-off weapons. Maybe it'd be better to pour your creativity into equipping a fleet of Toyota Hi-Lux's with anti-tank guns and high-explosive anti-personnel munitions. I'm not a big fan of which tank has thicker armor or better guns. I think you should only use tanks on ground that's been prepared, and you dominate the skies. In Ukraine, I think of tanks as bait to provoke artillery strikes that reveal emplacements forr counter-attack. I think a Patriot emplacement is a lot harder to replace than a plane nearing the end of its service life, and I think Ukraine is going to have some Coventry decisions to make, where they will choose to let an attack take place, let a plane cross over into UKR territory or fly ground support, because they have to save their ground-to-air munitions for something more than a farm town. t certainly does seem like we're close to Ukraine's breaking point. The West is in no position to finance a major war. They've run up huge debts in peacetime, so there's no easy credit.
