Turns out cope cages are the new big thing in armour
- Interesting, looks like it's been around in various forms since WWII
  
  It's because they were never that effective before. But with the advent of drones, they have suddenly become a wildly important protection. This is cause the drones can get stuck in those slat gaps. No other weapon before had this kind of weakness. They were all basically just ballistics before drones.
Gaijin gonna use this to make Abrams available for Russia tree with next level insane logic
