Take fifty years of technology and add it to the equation and you have
tanks
with the semi organic Mark-3 eye ball of there own. The tanker still
gets
out to guide the tank into camo or cover. A tanker gets out to look and
see
what it looks like from a perspective that he can truly feel the scale
of
things. Humans must look at things from there own perspective on
occasion
to get the feel of whats what. The crew must know hown to fight using
all
the high tech goodies or with a tank held togeather with scotch tape and
old
hangers.
