The adage I've usually seen is that Logistics is the king of the battlefield actually.
I'm not entirely certain what you want to do or what your point is in this discussion. I thought you wanted to discuss the properties of lasers and how they could be (or could not be) useful in a fight?
- littlestymaar 5y agoThe M2 Bradley is primarily an infantry transport vehicle! Its main role is an operational one, presenting it as a “30mm(sic) platform” is just completely missing the point. Regarding lasers, I wanted to have insight from more knowledgeable people on that topic (because my naive view is certainly wrong), but you have efficiently shown me that you aren't that person.

That's a lot of information about the nitty-gritty of IFVs (aka: M2 Bradley). Weapons discussions are always relevant to the realm of tactics, of which the US Army absolutely makes detailed discussions and manuals about. ------ In any case, the field manual absolutely cares about the 25mm to 30mm cannon on the M2 Bradley / IFV platform. The "Combined Arms" battalions follow this guidance, to maximize the amount of uncertainty the opponent faces on the battlefield. These details matter. And I'm almost certain that the "Laser" weapon will be seen in some kind of light akin to this theory.
