Why don't we have more 30mm tank-cars?

They could intercept tanks, and anything below, be used as anti-air, or killing anything in a building.

They'd be cheap as pretty cost effective too, so why not?

eh you might want more for tanks, fine for anything else

Because they're fragile, the 30mm won't do shit to an MBT and is generally overkill for anything less than an MBT, and hitting ANY modern aircraft without a radar guided gun is extremely difficult and anything vehicle mounted can't support the rate of fire needed to reliably hit aircraft even with radar guidance.

>they'd be cheap
Not if you want anything modern in them, no. Electronics are fucking expensive, and in order to hit anything with your 30mm cannon you will need a lot of them.
>pretty cost effective
Not if you make them cheap, because then literally anything HMG and up will kill them, plus the proliferation of RPG's and man-portable ATGM's has driven the battlefield towards more and more armor and more and more advanced electronic countermeasures, which still don't work frequently enough.

>>34477385

What year do you think it is?

>intercept tanks
no, they couldn't. They'd be dead before they got in range, and couldn't penetrate modern tank armor anyway. Or even outdated tank armor, except from the top, which a car can't hit. Also, our enemies don't have tanks to begin with-even if they did, we'd be killing them with air support.

>be used as anti-air
It is not the 40s, we use missiles for that

>or killing anything in a building
we already got that covered by a billion other things and tend to avoid it since collateral damage is bad, mkay.

>>34477398
30mm is commonly still used on tanks, look at the A10

This is basically just a VW Jetta with a 20mm. No reason why we couldn't just take a Passat or something and mount a 30 on it.

Thales developed a 40mm AA ammunition that opens up and spread pellets at a preprogrammed time to obtain a saturation effect at lower ROF.
It's in fact possible.

Too bad that a life firing test against actual T-62's in 1978 showed that you can infact penetrate a T-62's upper side hull armor from at minimum 2616 feet.

You mean maximum and then that's fucking appalling.

Thats less than 1km and for a A-10, that's literally going to be spotted 3km out and fucked by EVERY air defence in the area which includes ZSUs and even just 12.7 top mounts, that's completely worthless even if you have air superiority.

I would not jump to such conclusions without looking at the tests done in 1977. Besides the A-10 was ment to be killed in droves since the US airforce did not like the AH-56.
