Our North - SSE Policy Update Megathread

Running upto and over trenches is not moving from a hide position to a firing position and back.
They are advancing, tanking trench and pushing the enemy out or killing them.

Frankly no. Most of the Ukrainian use of tanks has been from static fire positions that roll into, engage from, and roll out of. With limited pushing of single vehicles at a time.

It's their doctrine modified based on their willingness to take and accept risk/losses.

I don’t think it has anything to do with an increased willingness to take risks. It’s been discussed at length, from source after source, that the Ukrainians and Russians are using small groups not because they choose to but because they cannot coordinate above company level. Part of that is because of how they r always structured their command systems. They are also unable to mass, they will only mass at the last minute and in smaller numbers.

Why can't it as part of the all arms combined battle?

The same reason I would push and unsupported M113 across open ground. It is simply not protected enough to do that job. If your going to push armoured vehicles up, unsupported, the they need to be able to take a hit. If they can’t they should be being led in by something that can - ie a tank. If it can’t deliver infantry to take the objective, or have the armour to get them there then what precisely is it doing in that combined arms battle? It is frankly an answer in search of a question

They can reduce ammo storage and add 4 or 5 soldiers. Can be more effective the just driving a tank back and forth over a trench

Uh sure if you can fit four people back here more power to you
