It was more of the wear and tear on the tank tracks and track pads that requires HETT units. The M1 meets the required 300 mile range, but that’s still a lot of movement on the tracks.

And drones can’t hold real estate.

agreed. the turbine sucks more fuel at idle but is more efficient at higher speeds.

have they even looked at shipping requirements for this POS GCV? one of the reasons the sherman was the size it was was due to cargo handling capacities of current era freighters.
