You seem to have missed the context. Thomas's thesis was that VTOL-ish
grav tanks with Mavericks or Hellfires would make indirect-fire
artillery
obsolete. The sentence you quoted above was part of my antithesis.

The Copperhead is fired from an indirect-firing tube artillery piece,
so can hardly make indirect-firing tube artillery obsolete... no
support for either side.
