Also on this matter of do we cause x% casualty in our own troops. Thus also does this question come into tank warfare. Anyone who actually knows tank combat, knows, that having an embedding engie platoon/squad, within your tank crew OOB, is a true and real, force multiplier. This is because, engies can dig that 50 ton ton gun, out of all the entanglements it gets into, and, the ground, is the main enemy of the tank, not the other tank. When the ground beats your tank, one man on foot can kill your tank at that point.

Okay so they then, alter tank combat (hebrew wink here) so that we have literally missile><antimissile combat happening within the circles of the tank combatants. No human on the ground, is safe.

That is just so god damned UnAmerican it makes me want to puke.

But even beyond the morally low notion of disregarding your own human troop and countrymen as the Marxists did with their submariners sentencing them to shielding-free oceanic or bedridden cancerous death, there is also the tactically stupid notion, that somehow tanks, should become gunslingers, blasting away at one another. As a commander, I wouldn't let my humans anywhere near your stupid robot battlefields I would pull all my people back back and hunker down and begin JC 2029 robot war scenarios, which I win in 99.999999% of all cases.

Just go to robot tanks, and give us the right to dig bunkers, fuckin that's where this is going.
