Tanks are seldom used in today's warfare. And when they are used, it is merely as infantry support vehicles. There are no Tank versus Tank battle anymore, and only countries with a poor airforce still rely on tanks.
So why do we keep making MBTs ? Why not switch to a binary armored element composed of Assault Guns for urban warfare and Missile Tank Destroyers like the Raketenjagdpanzer for open-terrain fighting ? It would be cheaper, and easier to transport overseas. We could even convert current tanks to save some of the costs.

You do realize that infantry support is the primary purpose of tanks, don't you?

I dont think you know what a tank is.
What you talk about (and has in your pic) is a tank destroyer.

Do you not remember iraq war 1 & 2?

This is not War Thunder. The primary mission for tanks has never been to destroy enemy tanks. It has been to support infantry.

No one uses nukes anymore we should just get rid of nukes.

can confirm. I was in oif1, and we smoked a ton of t-54's,55's, and 72's

It's light fighting vehicles without APS that are irrelevant in any sort of real warfare.
