The US Army had some problems with this when they introduced the M2 and
M3
Bradely's.  In the early training exercises the "more survivable" M2/3's
died
faster and more often then the M113's they replaced.  Why?  Because the
crews
were picking fights with MBT's...  I'm not sure how or if the US Army
resolved
this situation.
