And since we only get statistically 2/3s of a tank, we only get about 8k kills out of the ordinance. Out of the crushing, the tank can only go 256 miles. Theres 200 miles worth of zeke there assuming that roling over a carpet of zekes doesnt negatively affect gas mileage. Also, theres a foot and a half of clearance under that tank (between the treads).
You seem to be assuming a purely static line defense for a force that's trained extensively in defense-in-depth and other mobile defensive techniques. It sounds like you're thinking Napoleonic-era tactics...
