Yeah but on the plus side ya don't gotta worry about pigeons nesting and shitting all over it!

I wouldn't call 50 year old tanks "modern".

I'm really impressed you can tell what kind of tank it is under the plating.

Hellraiser, off-road edition.

I'm curious how much this actually helps.

I guess the branches would get into the rotors of drones, so you can't control them anymore.

You may not like it, but this is what peak ordinance delivery looks like.

Reminds me of a Maddox post:

Ding Ding! Here comes the shit-mobile. I've never seen a fire truck that needed to be shaved. I would rather be burned to death than be saved by this hairy piece of shit.

tanks are kinda obsolete , explosives are too op

They still get used, just in a very different role than before drones were a thing. And the days of big tank formations rolling through are very much over. Nowadays they mostly do mine clearing, artillery support, and mobile command centres.
