well, I still thin kthose f&�king saves ar eneeded. If you compare the
survivability of an infantry stand with the survivability of a tank you will
find that tanks are rather overrated. Actually, AT or heresy does A much
better job at this. Tanks nowadays are ultimate expressions of speed and
firepower but thast armor doesn't keep them alive for a long time.

Therefore, the difference between infantry and tnaks ar eridiculous.
Also, the infantry of the 41st millenium are much tougher than the troops of
our own reality. There got to be a reason why they dont just wear flak
jackets.
