No thank you. An artillery and jabo fighter-bomber magnet, especially at bridges it couldn't cross, and I'd really hate to think about the nightmare of keeping it fueled up and resupplied with ammo.

In 1966-67 I got to meet a couple of the surviving German WWII panzer aces, and asked them for the best advice they could offer on how to deal with the 17-1 odds we faced from an immediate Soviet armor attack, with the odds getting worse as their reserve and conscript forces followed on.

Practice your night driving, I was told. Always engage from ambush, and make your plans for what you do when your fuel runs out....
