Tanks like the M1 have maximums, the M1 is good for open country like Iraq, but crap in Afghanistan, and putting it in South Korea is nearly useless other than in he defense, since most of the bridges north will not allow the almost 80 ton Tank to cross..
Or wonder why the Bulge ground to a halt? Tanks up front was new and had issues, roads to narrow, bridged limited for the size of the tank, and fuel/logisitics. The M1 has a massive logistic chain, it burns fuel at how fast? Gallons/mile!? Also it is fast and all, but it has a massive heat signature? Turbine suck fuel and are HOT exhaust. Helo has limit yes, it take a skill pilot. It is maneuverable, but? it is 3d vs tanks being 2d warfare. Hard to hide it.. But it can get places faster and not all ground weapons can deal with it, but with use of tech and knowledge. Classic was the use of RPG-7 warheads and its auto-destruct at like 200 yards, made for some "fun" in Somalia, barrage fire and all detonating at the same time? MEcha, can walk, but only with new tech is it possible, looking at how artificial limbs have been progressing.. Think and the mechas arm does it.. Makes for faster reaction times, but .. How long will one last? Batterys and like are to small to last, or to heavy, but nuclear possible but .. broad cast power or .. logisitics - broadcast power!
