Like Skybird said, never take your opponent for granted, even if you think they may be less lethal, always treat them with respect or you will be nastily surprised.  |
In Finnish terrain tanks will never have large scale battles and even an T-72 can be useful.
The Finnish army retired them for Leopards but still has some modernized T-55s in use that usually beat the T-72s in wargames.
The first shot was faster and more accurate usually.
The IFVs are useful in our terrain and i think that when wisely used the BMB-3 and BTR-90 would be very dangerous machines.
