Flip it over on its back? It's not shooting at me or my friends. And once upon the tank? Well, if I'm a 20m tall kaiju and I want to deal with a tank, I won't bother with trying to destroy it if I'm strong enough to lift it. Even run an evasive pattern, leap/roll between cover, advance in turn, and otherwise close with the tank. Hide behind a building while your friend sneaks around. Meanwhile, the kaiju can respond to tanks using infantry tactics. 120mm HEAT rounds should utterly devastate anything they contact, but on Rifts Earth, they will, at best, just mildly injure the kaiju that they are trying to kill. It didn't end well for either of them, but it didn't end as poorly as it did for the two tanks. Another, among the smartest people on the planet, used unheard of technology, based on something he built from scraps in a cave, to build a suit of armour the size of the giant green rage monster, and used that to try to fight the monster. What did it take to fight the giant green rage monster? One guy, not so smart, decided to take a highly experimental serum that should have transformed him into a giant green rage monster to fight the first one.

Rather than blowing it apart with a single volley, it dodged or tanked (heh) their shots, closed to melee range, and LITERALLY BEAT A TANK TO PIECES WITH ANOTHER TANK'S TURRET. In that reality, tanks ended up worse than useless when a giant green rage monster showed up. Let's skip over to a slightly different reality where they did. But tanks have never had to face anything that DIDN'T play by our reality's rules.

:3īut you're absolutely right that tanks, used in their proper role, would be hell on mechs and Kaiju.as long as the mechs and kaiju played by our reality's rules. Despite having inferior tech in robotics, weaponry, sensors, and everything else, the Trans-Pacific Socialist Alliance managed to fight the armies of Russia, the EU, the United States, the Pacific Rim Alliance, and China to a standstill, defeating their superior tanks, planes, and even combat robots with repurposed nanobots.oh, wait.
