    and tanks we cant roll through half of the local land features.

    The German and American tanks? Wasn’t it a conscious decision to have stronger tanks where possible?

      This is about Abrams spefically. A lot of oir infrastructure is not adjusted to their size and weight, and they might not be the best option for the local marches, swamps and thick forrests which is all of Polands east (plus some mountines to the south). Its a tank for open plains.

        My interpretation was that they are an insurance against another German attack. It sounds a bit unreasonable but I think it allows them to focus on the east.
