Re: Ai Cheats !
Not this old chestnut!
Excluding the gameplay problem of having units being impervious to other units, it's a rather broad statement you make. I saw a WWII doco on tanks, and i was amazed at how many models of German tanks were disasters as opposed to the few models that were a roaring success. Of of the worst was an anti-tank tank which had no turret and no machine gun. In being specialised to kill tanks by having a longer range by virtue of having no turret, it was defenceless against everything else - especially infantry!
You see, you seem to forget that riflemen carried weapons other than rifles. For Russian soldiers, it was like shooting fish in a barrell, by simply dropping grenades in their cockpits. Very quickly the battlefield was littered with dead tanks filled with charred corpses
I guess the lesson for the military and people such as yourself who believe that weaponry is the be-all and end-all, is that technological superiority is useless without appropriate tactics.

A guy with a gun can't hurt a tank. A tank is made of thick steel, and a guy with a gun (Rifleman at that) can NOT hurt a tank.
