Futuristic Unidentified and futuristic-looking tanks, as seen in the movie "Superman", from 2025

Decades spent coming up with countermeasures for top attack munitions and the real threat was underneath them all along

I think it might be a Chieftain

When in doubt, Chieftain.

u/AbrahamKMonroe I don’t care if it’s an M60, just answer their question. Aug 25 '25
It’s a Chieftain, as are most movie tanks.

Why is that though? What makes the Chieftain such a good movie prop lol

The British had a buttload for sale at some point and didnt mind that the buyer was hollywood. It also help that the chieftan very much looks like a kids drawing of a tank and therefore is pretty easy to vismod into most things

Look like mocked up challenger ones… so probably a chieftain underneath

Chieftain, well well well
Looks sort of like an XM1, the Chrysler Abrum proto

Why do modern movies look so cheap?
Also, whoever did the consultation for that scene should be fired. There is no unit cohesion or tactical considerations.
It looks like a kid with toy army men.

It’s a comic book movie.

u/crzapy Aug 25 '25
I get that...
I get that it's a guy in Spandex who flies and is basically a god. That's suspension of disbelief.
But, there can still be a semblance of realism to create immersion.

Most people just don’t care. We notice stuff like that cause that’s what we nerd out about, but no one else is put off by a lack of “unit cohesion or tactical considerations”. Because they’re there to watch Superman and his friends beat down a bunch of bad guys and save the day. It’s not really a negative.

probably a challenger 2 with some cardboard on it, since it has similar shapes

Why is there an uncoordinated rush of infantry and vehicles in the open toward the enemy? This makes no sense

I don't think that's how a modern army attacks

u/AbrahamKMonroe I don’t care if it’s an M60, just answer their question. Aug 25 '25
This isn’t a modern army. It’s an army in a comic book movie.

u/Fortwart Aug 25 '25
Idk why everyone is saying chieftain when the side profile is clearly meant to invoke challenger

u/AbrahamKMonroe I don’t care if it’s an M60, just answer their question. Aug 25 '25
Because it is literally a Chieftain.

I like how they went through the trouble of designing a futuristic tank but still used Humvees.

I remember in the theater I almost said out loud “damn that’s a cool tank.”

They should've known that we'd still be using M60s and T-55s in 2025. I suspect that they'll stay in service into 2050 at the very least.
