Missiles are more common on the Battlefield, and one doesnt even need the Delivery System of a Missile now, all one needs is the EFP Warhead, or an EFP IED.
I believe the SP Gun is the best use of Military Funds. The SP Gun can be used as a highly mobile Firebase, if I had my way I'd bring back the 8 inch SP Guns, and the 175MM SP Guns, to be used along with the 155MM SP Gun. |
However, in Chechnya actually tanks were used often to sweep out terrorists/rebels of houses in which they were fortified. 30mm HE rounds of BMP-2 cannon was not powerful enough, and artillery did no provide accuracy enough to hit a certain building. Then tank was driven into position and made a one or more direct hits into target with its 125mm HE rounds.
