    I would be content with a modern MBT or two, especially a Leopard II or Abrams.
    And an AT minefield woulnd't help me get around, besides with an MBT you don't have to worry about drunk drivers!

    I hate the 7.62mm's lack of anti material hitting power. Gimme a 14.5x115mm any time.

    Also, I would want a Type 98G tank equipped with a PRC05 125mm cannon, heavy explosive reactive armor for stopping those nasty APFSDS rounds and 2x 14.5mm remote controlled, indepedently wired machine guns for it.

    You do know that sabots are not affected by reactive armour right? That is HEAT and other shaped charges.

    Impressed...
    So we haven't heard about this because? It would be dangerous? And why isn't there work on how to defeat this?

    Nothing is ever a certainty, in any way.

    Reactive armour is good for the first shot... but it doesn't have the equivalent of extra armour on the second shot to the same spot... I wonder if a high density shotgun like shell could set off a large zone of the reactive armour then followed by a sabot.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Imagine a Vaco where they had laid an AT-minefield... Ouch!
