We just watched Victor Davis Hanson’s Hillsdale College class on WWII. In it he spoke of the many shortcomings of tanks in WWII. While a competent tactical leader can make up for these difficulties, tanks have a great many limitations. Bottom line, they ain’t what people think.

It’s unlikely these complex vehicles with untrained crews will turn the tide.

Not only crews, but maintenance and logistics tail, supporting heavy infantry trained and experienced to support combined arms with tanks, etc.
