I looked at the pictures and read the description; it seems like it would
be better as a spacecraft or artillery or something like that. It is too tall
to use the terrain as cover, and it seems like it would be rather easy to tip
over. For the record, I think it looks great, it just doesn't say "tank" to
me.

Armor doesn't do much other than delay death if the defender can't fight back.
A Fast Attack Vehicle should easily be able to stay out range of the tank's
guns.

And with no defenses on the back, it could easily be damaged or destroyed.

It helps, but there still are no dedicated rear or flank firing defences, not
even machineguns.

Well, the first well placed shot will add a lot of red coloring to the side of
the vehicle. ;)
