 | | While tanks are expensive to operate and support, they remain among the most formidable and versatile weapons of the modern battlefield, both for their ability to engage other ground targets (including fortifications) and their shock value against infantry. |
 | | Tank weapons have blind spots below their minimum depression, and a tank's suspension and relatively thin rear and top armour are vulnerable to attacks from nearby and from the upper stories of higher buildings, which in turn, cannot be targeted by the main gun at close range. |
 | | Tanks are also at a disadvantage in wooded terrain and urban combat environments, which cancel the advantages of the tank's long-range firepower, limit the crew's ability to detect potential threats, and can even limit the turret's ability to traverse. |
