Infantry are largely unprotected from hostility (as I understand it- feel free to correct me) and, even if hiding behind/ in cover, there's always the chance of a stray grenade or bullet- surely in a built-up environment they're still overlooked by windows and alleyways?
HOWEVER I would think that infantry is far more flexible- they can disappear, hide, split up, regroup etc etc.
A tank, on the other hand, is protected from nearly all small arms fire and, as far as I understand, has nothing to fear from gunfire or even smaller explosives. However, a tank is less likely to be able to hide or run away, and is extremely vulnerable to air attack.
Have I got this right? I'd appreciate some input. Thanks
