M47 Patton Tank

The bugs are in the fuel supply for the city.

The residents will be without heating  and cooking supplies.

Now a large number are moving up the main street.

But wait, tanks!

The local National Guard unit has a collection of tanks recently received from the Marine Corps.

They have managed to deploy tanks to support the few troops.

Dangerous Bugs

Even hobby shops are not immune!

Smaller, but still giant, bugs are also attacking.  

These are faster than the blue bug.

They are also very dangerous, their sharp beaks and sharp legs are very strong and can penetrate nearly anything.

Not only dangerous, but frightening and ugly!

How can the troops stand up to these monsters?

Bugs, Mr. Rico, Millions of Them

Giant bugs were approaching the city and so most of the citizens were evacuated.

The Army has responded but only a few troops made it into the city prior to the arrival of the bugs.

These massive blue bugs are very dangerous.

Their bodies are armored and so it's difficult to kill them.

They are not very fast, but they can climb very well.

They seem unstoppable.

Tank Visibility

Tanks are very capable but they do have their vulnerabilities. 

One of them is it's hard to see out of a tank.

  
Tank crews often sit or stand so they can look out of the hatch and keep an eye out for the enemy.

As a result, one way to combat tanks is to fire machine guns or high explosive at the tank.

That will frequently cause the crew to drop down into the tank.

Tank crews that can't see you, have difficulty shooting at you.
