I want to be a tanker and hopefully I get combat support and that MOS, but anyway I was reading up on the Abrams and they're developing this new round called the XM1111:

In addition to this, the new XM1111 (Mid-Range-Munition Kinetic Energy) is also in development. Essentially a cannon-fired guided round, it has a range of roughly 12 km and uses a KE warhead which is rocket assisted in its final phase of flight. This is intended to be the best penetrator yet, an improvement over the US 3rd generation DU penetrator (estimated penetration 790 mm).

790mm is about 31 inches. And sin

I guess this pretty much means that once this is produced and we have it for all the tanks that every other piece of machinery on the battlefield is now obsolete? Except Challenger 2s cause they got Chobham armor?
