you'd have thought no one would have used them after they figured out a war elephant can be stopped by a 6 foot ditch.

????

An 65 ton M1 arbahams tank can be stopped by a 6' ditch .. Damm jeesh no one uses tanks now ..where your brains at ?

Also apart from rampamnt trolling try playing perisans in AOK or AOE .. see the fun with a 50-80 ele charge in Deathmatch

Trolls getting trampled.

well, okay i guess. to be honest, in an ideal world we wouldn't need tanks as it is. maybe they're a peace lovin' bunch? nothin wrong with that. stark contrast to our military might though we're far from peace lovin.

its how the romans beat carthage...

and tanks are designed to climb out of ditches. that was their original intent and purpose, to make war more mobile...

Yeah and people said the aircraft carrier was old and useless in the '60's and '70s. Look whos buidling new ones, its not just the US, Britain, France and several others are building new carriers now.

The US just shipped off some of our best tank divisons, well the tanks were shipped, the troops will follow. I dont think a M1A1 would have a problem with a 6' ditch.

Tanks, while not as important as artillery units, still have important roles in ground battles.

I don't know about elephants, but at the mass ratio of humans and horses, a horse is able to pull a bigger weight than a human (or a horse is capable to pull more than a number of humans with the same weight, and is able to do it for longer periods).
Yes, the 4x4 traction rules 😀

No tank can climb out of a deep enuff vertical ditch ..if it gets in there in the first place 😀

See the spec on M1 A1 or the most advanced tank in the world, the French Le Clerc on FAS. www.fas.org

M1 : Obstacle Crossing 49 inches 42 inches
Vertical Trench 9 Feet

If it was just the elephant against 50 people, the last would easily win. Why? Because the elephant would not do it without help, wouldnt tie ropes/chains to the plane and attach them to itself just to pull it forward. An elephant with helper vs 50 people and it would be the first though.
