Modern equipment yeah.Well, about twice the speed of a soldier on foot, so no. But, with modern targeting systems, the difficulty level is the same I conced.
Slow as hell especially in water

When the tank was first introduced, the radioman position was retained, largely due to concerns (at the time) of overloading the commander, while these fears were unfounded, several police actions had the radioman become the EW officer and the loader got replaced with a drone operator. The successor of this tank would drop the loader entirely and go with a 4-man crew. It should be noted that this tank was an early Cold War design that got upgraded (and rebuilt) a lot over the decades.If it has autoloader then what does the fifth member do? And unless the armor is feather light, you won't be dropping the weight to 45 tons, 50-60 would be more likely.
Why the Char B1 was the best early war tank, kf only France had a better air force.
You also never go into combat with a tank without Infantry.....Somua S35 was better.
Char B1 was way to slow and unwieldy.
And the main gun was in a casemate format.
Armor isn't everything when German infantry blow your tracks with a satchel charge or when you see a Flak 18/36 lined up on you.
Go tell the Russians at GroznyYou also never go into combat with a tank without Infantry.....
Even today you dint fo somewhere without infantry to support your sidesGo tell the Russians at Grozny
... and the Russians got their tanks and attached infantry massacred because of that nugget of foolishness.Go tell the Russians at Grozny
Mostly due to most bridges not being designed to handle such weights and the fact that the heavier a tank is the more fuel and maintenance it needs and the more wear and tear it suffers which drives up the cost per mile moved under it's own powerEven with a fusion power plant, mobility is going to be a serious issue for a tank even remotely that big. There's a reason modern tanks have been trying to curtail their growth in size and weight rather than embracing the Bolo school of thought.
Another Spookston video, this time about the War Thunder 2077 event...
In this case, when your weapons are either near-light speed, light-speed, and 8-12km/s... you'll need a lot of armor material to not have your troops rebel against you for basically spending them like ammunition. When even autocannons can core an M1 from the front, yeah, good luck.Even with a fusion power plant, mobility is going to be a serious issue for a tank even remotely that big.

It is a composite barrel gun, oddly enough.Not gonna lie, the video thumbnail of that high-tech tank barrel? It's something I could see GDI having on a type of light tank, around the time of the Third Tiberium War.
The thing about war is that it has a goal, and you aren't going to be using weapons that would prevent you from achieving your goals due to excessive collateral damage. Relativistic weapons will only be used far away from anything both sides of the battle care about.In this case, when your weapons are either near-light speed, light-speed, and 8-12km/s... you'll need a lot of armor material to not have your troops rebel against you for basically spending them like ammunition.
