I think the tank has outlived its purpose with smart bombs and drones these things wouldn’t last two minutes on a modern battlefield.

I agree.

The heyday of the tank was decades ago.

Tanks have a place but they aren’t war winners.

With that being said, I still kind of like the Sheridan despite the problems. The idea was there but the technology wasn’t.

You need air superiority to conduct armored operations. Who didn’t know that?
