Okay let me throw my two ISK into the argument here, and btw I'm non military historian and haven't served in the armed forces so my knowledge of the military is mostly confined to having read a couple of books about military stuff. But from what I've read it seems like warfare is built on principles, and though the method and technology used may change those principles don't.

And what grezkev here is trying to say(well this is what I got from his post) is that though the tech maybe be thousands of years more advanced than what we have currently, the same things that applied in WW2 apply now .

And taka, the more I read of your posts the more I feel like face palming.

Well go do it

But instead of your palm how about a brick wall

I'm talking to one that's for sure... Roll

And aren't you and grezkev in the same corp, if he really does outrank shouldn't you show at least a little respect, cause if that's how you treat everyone who disagrees with you, I don't see you staying in any corp for long.

Why respect someone that hasn't given you reason to respect them?

The fact that he has been given a senior position (I'm assuming here) shows that their is clearly someone in alliance leadership who respects him or values what he can contribute, at the very least taka should have kept any insults or sarcastic language to himself, just because someone hasn't proved themselves to your satisfaction shouldn't mean you should disrespect them.

RPG probably don't destroy RL tanks like they did but now they use different weapons to destroy them. Shaped charges destroy tanks with ease compared to a RPG. Lastly, take any war machine that has ever been invented or ever will be invented and take support away from it and see what happens. The Abrams tanks of today have never suffered a loss from enemy fire. USA USA USA. That being said how long would they last without support to repair, refuel and resupply. Our tanks don't need ammo or fuel, how many tears would be it HAV pilots had to buy and reload ammo. I hope they do one day. All the tankers talk about spamming AV but HAV only have a cool down, I consider that spamming if you don't even have to reload.

Honestly, Abrahams tanks are, to the best of my knowledge, used almost exclusively for AV, unless they want to blow up a house or something. I think you are correct.

If I was ceo and we had ranks he would be out. In top level matches those types of things get you invited or benched.
