With the right marketing, yes.

>Put one guy in

It's 2016, drone bro. Russia is doing it already. Problem is it's more expensive and therefore less expendable than meatbags (humans)

>>30788744
I can see how Tankettes would be useful for not only urban warfare but jungle and wooded environments put on an MG may be something like the MK19 or a recoilless riffle or some other small cannon and your ready to wreak some shit

>>30788783
If you factor in everything, its way cheaper to lose a drone than a crew.

Only if they're given a military acronym like "Compact Urban Patrol Tank."

>>30788783
training and experience is expensive.
crews cost more than the equipment in most cases

>>30788753
We need to take a lesson from the twingo.

Why tankettes when you can have power armor?

>>30791090
Because we can't have power aromor

>>30788744
What advantages would it have over an unmanned ground vehicle?

>>30789288
Maybe it could serve a anti tank/infantry support role. Put in a LMG or some sort of rocket launcher (I don't know much about anti tank weaponry) shoot, pen an APC or armored car and then get the hell out of Dodge.

Manned no, unmanned fuck yes.

>nobody will see or hear coming

Have you ever been outside in your life

>>30791381
He responded to that really well.

>>30791991
Try doing that while spewing fire from yourself.

>>30792013
i wasn't being sarcastic.

>>30792020
I know, I wasn't either.

Power suits won't happen because for it to be close to your body like there w/o a batpack, there would have to be batteries everywhere.


It's the same reason why although you could make a theoretically functioning fire extinguisher filled with liquid oxygen, you shouldn't.

>>30790968
why the coon runes on the glorious German flag?

>fire extinguisher filled with liquid oxygen

Good firefighting stayed on task

>>30792092
Because it's in Afghanistan and Afghans don't know what the fuck Germany is

>>30792097
Stops the fire by letting ALL the fuel and everything else burn away

>>30792097
heat fuel oxygen

If you burn up all the fuel, no more fire.


Like I said: you could, but you shouldn't

>>30788744
tracked AFVs of any size lack the mobility and situational awareness(currently) to fight effectively in urban environments without infantry support.

What you want is a 4 wheeled armored vehicle that pivot its wheels and "crab walk" sideways at quick speed with 360 camera coverage like the F-35 with remote turrets that can be controlled by external operators.

Something that is extremely mobile and is unmanned with at least two turrets.

>>30788783
That and the Russian one doesn't have a stabilised gun
