Country:  | Impressive. Strange looking, but impressive. I guess we will have stealth tanks next.
Which leads me to this question. Since it seems the worlds navy's have declared the Battleships as an outdated weapon, do you think tanks would be next? It seems to me tanks are highly vulnerable to TOW missiles, laser guided missiles/bombs, etc. Am I wrong? Do tanks have decent/good defenses against such an attack?

Despite the existance of arms that can defeat them, tanks still offer the best mobile crew protection available and probably will for a very long time to come.
It's kinda like the B-52.
On the surface, it seems outdated and vulnerable, but its still the best suited plane for some jobs.

Elvis | No the M-1 is not stealth at all. The largest threat to the detection of a tank is its heat signature and the M-1 actually gives off a very large one when compared to other newer modern tanks that do not run off of Turbines.

Adler,
I was thinking about the radar signature, i.e., low profile and angled sides.
Probably smaller than what a Sherman would give off, but you are correct about the heat signature.

Country: | And to think The Vulcans had the "stealth mode" many, many years ago.
They called it 'a cloaking device'.

Elvis | I dont know, there are plenty of tanks just like that. Tanks that are searching for tanks are looking for its heat signature and so are the helicopters that are searching for it, so it would not help anyhow.
