Bradley's would tend to disagree. They're front line AFVs.
The new Striker is as well.
And I'm aware that tankers have escaped wrecked vehicles. That's why I said explodes.

And your original quote said AFVs. Not tanks. Need me to re-quote it?

One could argue that AFV's fall into the category of tanks.
Though obviously it would be a separate category to MBT's etc

If that was his idea, why even bring up the difference between a transport and a tank?
There aren't any front line non-AFV transports - dueces get left with supply.

Hate me for it but i do enjoy a good game of panzerhammer.

Then again ive only got 2 vehicles for my IG with a possible third under construction.

hrm, I'd still consider a Stryker more of an APC than a front line IFV, the Bradely is proof against up to 30mm cannon fire, with armor protection roughly equivalent or superior to early WW2 medium tanks and some fearsome armament, making a pretty good case for being a tank in and of itself (generally requiring anti-tank weaponry to destroy it, heavy anti-infantry and light AA guns and the like won't do), the Stryker on the other hand can be penetrated from any angle by anything heavier than a 14.5mm round (and even than can penetrate in flanks) and basically just carries a heavy machinegun and sometimes a grenade launcher.
