I have absolutely no idea what this back and forth is about in the last 10 posts or so LOL .. it's like a lot of talking but no real substance.
Truth is tanks are it's most effective when it's open warfare prefebly in flat land or plains. The were never designed for urban city type combat or mountainous region where enemies with RPGs or other weapons can hide in buildings or easily blend into their environment. They also work best in combine arms tactics where they work together with infantry, APCs, attack helos etc.
Yes it's true that China has never been involve in any 'real' modern tank battles and latest 'Types' are not combat proven BUT other than the US Army/Marine, Israel and a small handful other countries, most nations' tanks have not either. Until China goes into a major tank battle we can only speculate on it's true effectiveness, of it's tactics and the tanks themselves.
