FACT: No Democrat (anywhere) has ever answered my questions with relatable, factual answers.....only rhetoric and propaganda. FACT: No Democrat on this site has proven me wrong on any of my political posts.

This saddens me to find out that you are a Mega-Republicon
I had hoped we may become friends,
Turns out it ain’t going to happen.

See you on the battlefield.

That's just firing in defilade. We used to do that all the time when I was a Fire Direction Specialist at Ft. Benning, back in the 70's. Except we didn't have drones or global positioning systems to calculate the elevation, azimuth, and charges for the 105mm howitzers and 155mm Self-propelled howitzers. We did all that with forward observers, radios, slide rule calculators, and maps. That is, until we got some 200 pound FADAC computers to calculate all that stuff.

Many people here consider their opinions to be facts.

Point of fact though, tanks fire by line of sight, you're thinking of howitzers that fire in great arcs.

I vote for who is worthy.........not for any party.

The only political party I'm joined in is Baron Von Murderpaws party.

That was then, this is the here and now.

With GPS we can locate where you are and where the enemy is. Targeting becomes automatic and on track.

So far as I know, the US has no precision-guided munitions for tanks. We have a 155 mm one for howitzers. If you know of a tank round I'd love to hear about it.

Well I hate to shoot holes through your theory, but the 105mm gun on a US M1 Abrams tank can only raise to an elevation of 20 degrees and has a range of 1.86 miles. You're going to have a hard time lobbing rounds over a hill, that's why we have mortars and artillery.

Actually, the Russians use tank fire in defilade, but artillery is preferred, of course.
