Tank Withdrawal -- Day 1 (Theorytanking)

There is a reason Heavy Tanks reliant on armor disappeared from modern day armor doctrine and got replaced with MBT's, which rely on mobility and firepower. In fact, the 60's saw Germany and France build MBT's that had incredibly thin armor (75 - 80mm at thickest) in order to gain better mobility while still carrying powerful guns, said tanks being the Leopard 1 and the AMX-30 respectively. Incidentally, both tanks are planned to be introduced in the game as Tier 10 mediums.
Although armor is making a comeback due to the realities of asymmetrical urban combat.
