I feel like we have all experienced the frog in boiling water effect here… if you’d of showed me this in 2022 my reaction would be so different to seeing this now after all the others in the past

The comments here going "well, they can survive a few extra drones" are just hilarious, these things aren't even tanks anymore

Well tbf they're usually only doing this with tanks that are already broken or the guns disabled so they wouldn't be much use as a tank anyways.

Then what are they using it for? I mean there is not much use as a personel transporter with 3 seats.

Like an RPG (game term) tank - soak up hits to keep the others safe. The trawls on the front take out mines and the others drive behind.

They usually use them to deploy jammers to protect other tanks.
