Tanks normally could just demolish anybody in a trench who didn’t have an RPG at their side, boasting a high caliber cannon alongside the nearly indestructible armor it would wear while wreaking havoc on the opposition, but the tanks did come with disadvantages. Extra petrol had to be kept inside of the tank in case of the vehicle running out of gas, and if someone waited for the right moment, they could throw explosives inside the tank and it could blow up rather quickly. The mobility of tanks was also poor, as speed was not a priority for these death machines, and reinforcements via tank could be very slow, and the squad requesting the reinforcements could have already retreated or have been completely wiped out by the enemy, leaving the tank operators in a very dangerous situation.
