>>482736>What about actual tanks?Maybe you don't grasp the communist mindset with regards to industrial warfare.
The main unit is a battle factory, what you call a tank is a component.
Designing a tank-component has as priority:
crew survive-ability,
ease of production,
combat cost efficiency,
repair-ability, recyclability and interoperability with other components or modularity
It would look like any other industrial component optimized by statistics, bereft of aesthetics. The only concession to sentiment is making it fun to operate, so that tank crews like training on it.
These days funding tends to go towards expensive stylish-gadget-tanks, as self contained units, and the design priority is making profits for the arms-industry. This is almost diametrically opposed to the above.
