Laser force assault tanks review8/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The Spartan Assault Tank, sometimes referred to as the Land Raider Spartan, is a heavy-assault transport that was originally used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, and later by the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes that still possess them in their armoury. Sorry to dash your sci-fi dreams, but laser tanks might be a long ways off.A Spartan Assault Tank of the Death Guard Legion during the Istvaan III Atrocity Chemical energy guns, on the other hand, would not lose any of their hitting power at all. An adversary facing laser-armed tanks might lay smokescreens filled with tiny particulates that block vision and reduce the power of any laser that passes through them. As a laser beam travels through tiny droplets of water in fog, ice crystals in snow, and ash from fires, the laser strikes them and rapidly loses coherency. ![]() One disadvantage of battlefield lasers that the channel doesn’t mention is that laser energy is degraded by particulates in the atmosphere. If a large laser takes five seconds to burn through a tank’s glacis plate, a modern chemical energy gun can engage two separate targets in the same amount of time. ![]() It will take time-and sustained power-to burn through that armor on the battlefield. All tanks have thick slabs of heavy steel, ceramic composite, and even depleted uranium armor welded to the front of the vehicle. Lasers can quickly down flying objects, since they are typically lightweight and it is easy to induce aerodynamic failure by slicing off a vertical stabilizer or propeller arm.īut-and it’s a big but-lasers are not good for slicing through tank armor. The cost per shot is cheap, as the ammunition is technically just electricity generated on the spot and not a missile or even cannon round built in a factory and shipped to the battlefield. Yes, the video explains, there are some good things about lasers on tanks. A drone under fire from a lightweight laser weapon system. ![]()
