Ergo physical protection makes a comeback.
Yeah, but in what form? Are we having tank armor that offers the same protection as thicker armor, allowing for weight savings or are we having to slap on more armor? One way reduces weight and other increases weight significantly.
The problem is that it's gonna have to go towards lightweight. Heavy tanks weighing in at 80 tons is already a lot. The more weight will start showing its painful self in strategic and tactical situations.
