Yes, but do they mean whole companies of Land Raiders and whole companies of
Whirlwinds and...
Or a couple of companies composed of Landraiders, Whirlwinds and stuff. Then
for a chapter you would have a couple of campanies composed of different tanks,
so if we go by companies having 10 squads each, and companies meaning only two
each marine chapter would have.

12 Land Raiders
12 Whirlwinds
12 Razorbacks
12 Predators
12 Vindicators

Thats 10 squads, so 2 each per chapter, a squad is 1-3 tanks, so 3 tanks, so
there is 6 of each Tank per company. 2 companies of Tanks is 12 of each tank
per chapter.

Even if there are 3 companies of tanks it would be 18 of each. Yes, easily
enough to field 10, but that means if you have detachments of 10 then you have
a mostly tank Space Marine force, which doesn't seem to follow the fluff, since
the strength of Space Marines is their Infantry

Basically if you are using the entire Chapter in the game, and you have 12 Land
Raiders, then I won't complain. Especially if you use them as support for an
infantry detachment, spread out over the entire army, since that is what a
Marine army is, tank supported infantry, as opposed to infantry supported tanks
(IG)

If you take them all in Armour detachments, then it is unfluffy
