Uncomfortable mover of people – Yes.
Tank – No. |

It has tracks and allegedly has armor, therefore it is a tank. |

"It has tracks and allegedly has armor, therefore it is a tank."
That's what reporters think. |

I know it's an APC, using A for Armored rather loosely. Would FV43whatevers even stop 7.62NATO? But crap, even the company that makes Bradleys calls them "tanks"! (And if you figured out how to stuff a 75mm gun in there, it'd be the equal of a Sherman…) |

The website that Tango links to calls it an APC, which it is of course, so where he gets "tank" from goodness knows. |

In fairness it is still a better "tank" than those Panzer 1 command tanks used in Russia in 41. And I don't think you need to up arm any modern cannon equipped APCs to beat a Sherman |

Glad you like it my friend.
Finally… a tank or not? (smile)

Not a tank now, would have been a good tank in WW1. Only saying because what's a tank is relative to time and expectations. |
