To be fair, I have no idea where we go with tank tech from here. It's nigh-indestructible, plenty of ammo choices, fast, has plenty of electronic gizmos for the crew, and looks nice. The only thing I can imagine is a more efficient engine and further protection from IEDs. But what would a next-gen tank entail? Railguns? Non-lethal weapons? Where will our next stage of combat take place, who will we fight, how do we fight them, and what do we do about it? I find it hard to imagine the next generation when we don't know what to aim for.

Vehicular SAMs are probably too big and well out of a tank's scope of engagement, but I do wonder if anyone's ever tried M1As with Stinger launchers or other smaller missiles used to engage low-flying craft like helicopters.

It WAS worse than just having one gun

With the new advances in FCS and autoloading technology, I say it's worth a second chance.

I'm a complete noob when it comes to treadshit. Obviously autoloading is necessary with two barrels but what does that entail for how the rest of the tank is constructed? How heavy/space-consuming would two autoloaders and twice the ammo be?

turrets are already that bulky in order to be well protected, house certain systems, crew members, and not to mention one gun by itself

>>14266564
>How heavy/space-consuming would two autoloaders and twice the ammo be?
Assuming we don't outright change the chasis and everything here(Might as well build a new tank at that point)
First, you need twice the amount of space and weight allocated for the gun, so you'll probably need to redesign the turret if you want it to comfortable for the crew.
Ammunition, the two guns could theoretically draw from the same supply so you don't necessarily need to double the amount of ammo on it(doubling the ammo increases weight as well), though the amount of shells in the tank might be reduced a bit.

More weight thanks to the extra gun and possibly the redesigned turret means you probably have to strip out some stuff to ease the load on the suspension if its too much, engine power should be okay.
>>
>>14266636
It appears that the M61 is 11m w/ guns and 9m hull while the Abrams is 9m w/ guns and 7m hull. Width is (M61) 4.9m vs (Abrams) 3.6m

It's bigger, but not by a huge margin.
>>
>>14266415
Because smaller means smaller canon and better armor trumps smaller canon. We dont have beam rifles anon we still need thick armor and bigger tanks
>>
>>14266415
There's a reason why tank guns have been getting bigger and bigger, anon.

Bigger calibre shells means you can put more shit into those shells to fuck things up.

You could make a 105mm APFSDS round as powerful as a 120mm APFSDS round, but to do so would make it too long for a human loader to load it. This would require the warhead to be separated from the charge. This would double the time it takes to reload the gun among all the other negatives associated with using ammo like that (the m551's gun was notorious for its failure rate).

>>14269865

I remember the Planetes manga going into this. It had the cast in the 4th volume trying to put on enough public pressure to cease hostilities in a space conflict not out of any political orientation but because so much damn debris (which they then had to clean up) was being generated that they could've completely fucked humanity going forward.

It's really pointless.

You think either Gulf War would have been different if we had had just the 105mm M1?

Tanks don't matter anymore. As long as you have the baseline standard, air power will make up the difference

You can't assume that complete air dominance can be assured in every armed conflict.
Of course against poor countries you will use planes because they minimize casualties but once you start getting air defenses and enemy fighters into the equation, ground troops have to do part of the work.
Plus, aircraft can't hold ground, they are just flying artillery and IRS platforms.
Tanks can matter, don't try to convince me otherwise.
>>
>>14270442
That only shows how poorly you understand the T-72, dear friend.

Admittedly, it does make sense to have backup with whom you share a common language with, of course, but that aside, rogatkas would laugh Bradleys to death.

>>14266943
Are you saying this is somehow new and unexpected? Life in Europe 20 years after the war was just like that. Life currently is just like that in a whole gaggle of smashed African, South-American and South-East Asian countries. Even in London, new bombs are found semi-regularily as potentially lethal reminders of the previous generations' idiocies.

The only thing special about this is that it would probably be happening to more priviledged people than it is today.

Zimmerman managed to get some shots off after being clubbed on the head by surprise, so probably.
Of course having a gun isn't a 100% guarantee of safety, you still have to have a vigilant mindset, to scan for danger.

You do know that head to head with proper T-72s the Bradleys would have their ATGMs outranged by a kilometer or so by the T-72's GLATGMs?
And that their TOWS would be of dubious effectiveness against the T-72s composite and ERA armor, right?

Sure, if not for the fact no eastern bloc tank has ever fired a GLATGM in anger.

And no, the TOW would have worked fine against T-72B glacis and turret cheeks. And Kontakt-1 wasn't all that great.
