@rysiek It's not trivial though. 4 man crew vs prototypical combloc T series of 3. Armour takes a lot of training, plus maintenance is hard to get set up.

@sullybiker absolutely. It's going to take months for these tanks to show up on the battlefield. That's why this decision should have been made months ago.
