They are to the aft of the vessel

Henry240:


They are manned 30mm. They are a standard armament of all our missile crafts of that era. They are a secondary armament.

You can see the turret shape and the iconic RCWS quite clearly

Challenger has never been destroyed by enemy action and has only been penetrated once (driver lost a toe). One Challenger survived over 40 RPG and ATGM hits.

Abrams tanks we see getting penned in Iraq are M1A1 which are now over 34 years old and lack the DU +Graphite (DU = Depleted Uranium) layer.

Performance speaks for itself, during the entire Iraq/Afghanistan of ~14 years no single M1A2 or M1A2 SEP was ever penetrated by ATGM's with the only crew loss being from a tank that drove off a bridge into a river.

Henry240:


Agaugust is right. Minimum caliber for the infantry man should be a 12.7mm. All MRAPs, LAVs and Gun-trucks in Nigeria carry a 12.7mm minimum. Firepower wins you wars.

MikeCZAR:
Wrong.

Ignoring force composition.

Henry240:


Force composition is not ignored, it is upgraded to deal with the quintessential threats faced. Understand the difference.

Adelz:
are we participating?

MikeCZAR:
It is.

Then why isn't force employment, tactics and fire support discussed?

You're saying all vehicles should be armed with 12,7mm systems, without looking at what fire support systems should a your units have at it's disposal. And ignoring logistics and money.
