None. Whatever a tank can do, a fire breathing armored beast can do better.
Jonathan Lee
They save lives. Your troops' casualties will drop thank to their protection. And their obvious offensive use with blitzkrieg.
Dominic Thomas
>WW2 Japanese tanks
It's pointless in a world where a mere level 1 [Fireball] casted by a newbie mage can incapacitate your tanks.

Depending on the model, a tank have an effective range of 2-10km. Some can be modified to become actual artilleries with ranges of 20km
And they don't shoot fire that can be stopped by gust of wind
They shoot explosives, armor piercing rounds, antiair rounds, cluster explosives, chemical canisters, and even white phosphorus
Michael Wilson
What’s the best way to deal with a schizophrenic yandere dragon girl?
Andrew Williams
very fancy crew coffins on wheels
Wyatt Morales
They would be pretty useless in a setting where magicians and mages can make their own javelins and nlaws with a wage of their hands.
Juan Anderson
It takes years for a magician to become competent enough for that
Just a week to manufacture and train a proper tank crew

assuming modern global infrastructure and logistics
Aiden Jones
Not true
During Stalingrad, all Soviet forces were pushed back into 1 factory
They produced a tank every 45 minutes and it's in battle after 10 mins.
Gets salvaged for parts after another 30
Jose Green
>They save lives.
Lol. They are basically moving coffins. The moment their turrets explode, your men are all roasted pigs.
Caleb Clark
my wife mitsuha is so cute

Turrets don't explode
It's literally just a barrel with a hammer to ignite the primer of a shell.
You're talking about the engine and ammo box which are properly sealed
Not to mention tanks have exits both above and below
Colton Jones
It is as advantageous as the writer make it.
You can write a billions settings where tanks end up shit because invisibility magic and guided fireball only accessible by native destroy them.
You can write a billions settings where tanks end up overpowered because certain runic magic was mass produced by tech-wizard giving them near infinite range and easy maintenance.
Luis Davis
>cluster explosives, chemical canisters, and even white phosphorus
Pretty sure those are banned though.
Nicholas Carter
cool
nobody cares
Aaron Baker
Good luck finding ammo and fuel in a medieval world. A beast can run and breath fire for free.
Kayden Wood
The isekai world uses magic for fire, poison, hypnotism, necromancy, and even weather manipulation
Why would chemical weapons be banned

It can take down a hundred beasts before running out. I'd say it's fair
Asher Walker
Would you?
Caleb Thompson
Just rest until your blessing replenishes appropriate amount of supplies in your inventory.
Dylan Gutierrez
I suspect a lot of horrible weapon would become mundane if the setting have anything close to "healing spell". Not to even mention "resurrection spell".
Isaac Cruz
Inhumane ordinance on inhumane otherworldly threats. Nothing wrong with that. If they don't like it, they can sit their ass down and sign a paper.
Colton Sullivan
No.
Robert Bell
>Turrets don't explode
Sure.
Hunter Edwards
>they can sit their ass down and sign a paper.
"Their treaty look strange, all it say is Explosive Run..."
Nathaniel Lewis
In a more realistic writing, the empire would be provided a shit load of ATGM by the west to blow up those tanks.
Anthony Fisher
>invisibility magic
Infrared vision.
>guided fireball
Explosive reactive armor.
