No a tank will not get stuck on simple razor wire per the old style placeable.

and we also have a limited amount of kit space, thermite grenades are a metaphor for all the tools we should be carrying. in insurgency it's our munitions disposal kit, in AAS it's our bangalore torpedoes.

I say just remove the hedgehogs and add a vehicle collision to the wire. AFAIK it can rip wheels off cars that try to go through it, and ------>even stop tanks<-----. I also say that the distance limit should be removed, and all you need should be enough FOs and a supply crate to build the wire and the foxholes.

I think a big problem when trying to plug gaps is that the wire can sometimes appear really high in the air, on top of statics. A 'ghost' wire would help here, soething you can place and then have the option to try somewhere else if it is not where you wanted it. This would help a lot more than just having smaller wire, IMO.

It doesn't stop a tank by being a barrier, it stops it by seizing up the axels. Its a whole lot worse than hedgehogs if that happens, you cant even back out of it.

You are correct! Must've missed that post, but you can see it was debunked quite soon in the thread by Herbiee

gotta agree with ya (we and even he knows what the scimitar is

) I see what your saying but a tank wouldn't be hindered by a wire. and the angle iron posts used to hold the wire up would possibly stop the tank if its 20 foot long, 1 inch thick and the majority driven into the ground however the weight of a tank would make short work of that.
