Well he was in Shaft.

Any modern prop aircraft would be using cannons and AtA missiles instead of HMGs for the job.

U.S. Army doesn't care where where the UCAV controllers are, as long as they're theirs.. Moving the UCAV control like was you said runs into the likely problem of micromanagement.

Black Magic M-66 OVA and GitS: SAC worked well given Shirow himself was involved in their production, moreso with M-66.

David in an "ultimate showdown with a large, advanced enemy" those planes just as well don't exist as time, industrial capability to get them up to nuff, and warm bodies to fly them just isn't there.

Revised version was 40 tons before the program was canceled, and would have been the most advanced SPG in service in the world. Artillery is deadly effective against the insurgents.

Is it downloadable or streaming only?

What tank, I keep getting web pages for Florida State Uni instead of the tank. The M60 did have nice ergonomics thanks to the large size, in addition to higher vantage point, wider range with the gun elevation and depression. M60 did have moderately thick armor especially when compare to the Leopard I, only the British Chieftain made them look thin. I heard the same thing which may have been true in the mid 80ies to maybe ODS, but afterward, even they rather be in a M1A1 instead of a M60A1/3. to single piece users it may look like it is PITA but for two piece users it nothing.

The Pattons and even the Abrams are puny next to a M103 heavy tank destroyer or couple of the MBT-70 prototypes.

The U.S. sold a butt load of M48s and M60s before Clinton got elected and even some more before he wrote the order to dump the majority of the remainder into the Gulf. Most of the Pattons seen in movies for the past couple of decade unless otherwise noted are usually someone else's than Uncle Sam's.

More ballsy to have some Twi'lek slave girls do a cameo appearance.

Already got an M1 based recovery vehicle the Grizzly, whether or not the Army actually bother to ask for any and got them is another story. Have to made do with tungsten ball-bearings in the canister round.

I wish I was, Clinton had order them and a metric buttload of usable (saleable) hardware including the M60s A-6 Intruders and etc. dumped into the Gulf. What hurts more the M60s had just born rebuilt before the order was given like the A-6s.

Could someone explain to me the reasoning of installing milspec hardware into a civilian in these cyborg shows? Sorry that is just one cliche that is running rampant in this genre.

No point as thermobaric weapons made them redundant. At the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Got to find some first and even when you do nobody in the U.S. Armed Forces wants them other than range targets. More prudent to use a Brad chassis instead. Not so much after the M202A1 FLASH debacle.

Would be baddass if they would acknowledge the hits they to the armor and unarmored sections instead of no-selling it.

I don't know Statham looks a little too skinny for the part.

The Abrams already got the canister rounds through the Pentagon and/or Congress have been screwing with the procurement of it and the most of the ones that do bought tend to get stolen by the REMFs once in theater. Flamethrowers are still technically legal, but they're discontinue were they're genuinely unhealthy for the users.

No point to doing that when 1 or 2 plus ammo can easily be mounted on top of the gun mantle ala like what the Israelis do with their Merkeva tanks. Trying to add more MG to inside the turret while removing the 120mm would almost require a completely new turret design to accommodate the change. Moreso with HE rounds if the Pentagon would ever bother to buy some as well as more canister rounds

It is not too unusual for prototypes even incomplete ones to enter combat through usually it is when hostile forces are literally on the factory's doorstep to force such an action. Another would be one Govt, cheaper to give away then to scrape, simply hands them off to another Govt. who is desperate for any working hardware.

Laumer created the Bolo universe, Weber, Drake and other authors do stories in that universe not unlike done with the Conan, Star Wars, and Star Trek franchises but with better quality control.

Bolo tanks are Keith Laumer's creations not David Weber.

That is an Abrams, badly drawn one at that.

GI Joe toy version of one the MBT-70 prototypes. Again the toy version of the Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank prototype by AAI Corp. More information can be found here.

It was pimp but WTF with giving that tank practice ammo, as the Major would have been dead to rights had it had API/HEI ammunition instead,. Purely a COIN operation type as that stub barrel wouldn't give the projectiles the MV or the range to slug it with other tanks or AFVs.
