I know a lone modern fighter jet would make a huge difference but have always wondered about a tank

    From what I’ve read since I posted the question. The armor would simply shrug off tank shells of that day. Don’t even know if mines from that era would be effective against them. The only issue would be the resources.

      So they lure it over a pit packed to the brim with dynamite. Throw enough explosives at anything and it will be destroyed. And if there’s only one of them, they will put the effort in to disable it.

        Even something as simple and dumb as “a mine takes out one of the tracks and then you snipe any motherfucker dumb enough to get out and fix it”. Once your tank is immobile, it becomes a pillbox. Your tank can’t now get the fuck out of a situation at 80MPH, so a couple of jackasses with a crowbar and a couple grenades can take your tank out pretty damn easy.

        Anti tank warfare has LARGELY not changed since WWII. The tech has gotten better, but the tactics pretty much remain the same.
