They tried........we decided gunships were better.....:o)

But when it's raining, the tanks have a roof and a little round door thingy on top that can be closed, keeping the rainy drops off your head.

We do have some UAV’s, albeit little ones, and some AIM 92’s scattered around the site to play with !

During hurricane season when gunbirds and UAVS don't fly well [or go round and round in big circles, ask the guys who were at Fort Wolters for Hurricane Beulah back around '67] those big tracked critters make pretty fair 60-ton personnel shelters. The NODs and thermal viewers on board are helpful, and you can probably figure out a way to go on the net with the FBCB2 computers, and the new FTL function fire control gives accurate targeting data to a range of eight clicks with a claimed CEP of less than 35m.
