why doesn't the USA just build an army of Maus tanks with railguns to defeat ISIS?
Why don't we just build a Metal Gear?

Let me humor you with a serious answer as well as the reason why you will never see the Mammoth Tank IRL.
There is nothing an upgraded Maus could do that couldn't better be done by the Paladin or the Abrams, and the added mass wouldn't benefit it since the way composites work it would have no better armor than the latter in addition to being a much larger target. If you want an even more unkillable Abrams, you would double-layer composites on its existing chassis, which would still be damn expensive and not really practical, but is less so than going with the trouble of designing a purpose-built super heavy.

Its about the gun ....

1 : The USA created and supports ISIS.
2 : The Maus can't move well.
3 : The MAUS would be defeated by dated ATGMs.
4 : Obama loves ISIS.
5 : USA loves ISIS.
6 : We don't have a Libertarian government.
7 : USA wants ISIS to succeed.

Not the same guy, but we're not yet at a point where railguns can do anything better than conventional tank cannons.
>>30498125
Why?
1. It's stupid.
2. It's pointless.
3. It's ineffective.
4. It's expensive.
5. Faster and more effective methods are already made.

wrong
Maus tanks would be impervious to nuculer terrist IEDs
the rail gun would be very good at taking out pickup trucks

Report and move on, boys.

Pls, a modern RPG-18 could write off a Maus from the front, not even taking into account dedicated ATGMs.
Modern portable railguns are staplegun-tier.

All you should get from the state is a one way ticket to the euthanasia clinic.
I'd gladly pay more taxes if it meant that money was going towards removing retards like you from the system.

why doesn't the USA just stop using the army to destabilize the middle east, unbirthing ISIS?

Didn't they already?

>>30498125
Because it's not worth using railguns on ISIS.
