i am clueless as to why humans don't have any tanks??

Fish tanks, scuba tanks, or just plain old caterpillar-tread-whaking-big-gun tanks?



In the Colonial Marines Tech Manual they have:

M22A3 Jackson medium tank

M34A2 Longstreet light tank

M40 Ridgway heavy tank (not to be confused with the M40 grenade)

M292A2 self propelled gun



I guess neither the films nor games had any use for tanks.

they'd be too overwhelming me thinks- look at what JUSt the APC can achieve...

Tanks would be overwhelming for all of 5 minutes before Aliens swarm all over them, spill acid, then take them apart like they were made from tin foil.

Yeah exactly. The APC is designed to be heavily armoured to protect the troops inside, and have a fairly light weapon that could fire very rapidly to disperse groups of enemies quickly. Sounds ideal against bugs, eh? But read the novelisation to find out just how useful (or not) the APC was in Hadley's Hope's atmosphere processor. Now a tank, which would probably be less armoured and have a heavy but slow weapon, would stand even less of a chance against the bugs. They'd be pretty useless really.

what about some light tank armed with duel chain guns flame throwers, and a motion sensor with a range of 100m. also is remotely controled?

we're pushing it.



It appears that vehicles don't do any good against the aliens...



maybe against the Preds, but aliens simply overwhelm anything with their numbers

They wouldn't even be any good against Preds... cloaked Pred hides in tree, fires a plasmacaster round into the fuel chamber as they have a tendency to do with helicopters, and boom!

how the fuel tank would be heavly armoured as it is a weak spot, only the russians were that stupid to have external fuel tanks.

#1: Russians aren't stupid. Some of my friends are Russian, they're a lot smarter than you or me.



#2: You seen what the plasmacaster did to Blain? His solid ribcage didn't even slow it down. The projectile would burn through the tank's hull just as easily as xenomorph molecular acid.

Your punctuation..? just kidding. Thought you were making a reference to the Predator book Cold War. Point is, both Predators and Aliens would make mincemeat of a tank. Nuff said.

Just a moot point snoopafella:



The russian MBT's external fuel tanks are just that; external fuel tanks that let them have a greater range, similar to what most fighter planes utilize. They do, of course, have armored internal fuel tanks, and drop the external ones before they enter a combat zone.



Oh, and I'll rather be snug inside an ALICE!

Pah, if Aliens, Preds and Exosuits were all real, even the Suit wouldn't stand a chance against any of them! 'tis just another example of how AvP2 wasn't designed to be realistic.

please note that most tanks use DIESEL fuel and that bugger don't JUST explode....
