Hello everyone. I was checking out Ryan
Woods Jade Empire Hong Hovertank post and he mentions that we have seen little
in ground combat vehicles other than
power suit. That got
me thinking, when you have Power Suits available, should tanks be used / are
they really needed? Can tanks add anything that power armor cannot?
As a power armor fan myself I believe that they can replace tanks and do a
better job than mechanized armor. They can carry a diversity of weapons; they
are a bipedal weapons platform system. They can access areas that tanks may
not. They can perform surgical strikes and with less collateral damage. What
do you think?
