Six: -to Quartz- ...honestly? I think you need to be put through some form of training.

You're, what, 2000 years behind the latest military technologies? The only way you're gonna learn how to hump it is if you put effort into learning how to fight like most of us here do.

-to Turax- Then after the initial few moments of distraction your spell is good for, the crew will realize that since they're floating, they are now an airborne tank A floating gun platform.

You have not solved the problem, you've made it worse for everyone around you.

"...how would they steer or move the tank?"

Six: -to Longram- Sounds like a Spartan Laser, alright.

-to Turax- They don't. But now they can see further and their gun has extra range.

It'd be useful if you had a rocket launcher to hit their underside, though, tanks don't have as much armor underneath as they do to the front.

Six: -to Longram- AT mines aren't gonna work against something that's airborne.

Turax: "Well no, but once the Tank has driven over an AT mine or... even better, an explosion rune, there won't be a need to make it airborne anymore. It'd be already wrecked." tongue

Six: Which makes your antigravity spell both redundant and overcomplicated.

Why use it when we can just drop a mine? Or better yet, flank and stuff a rocket up the tank's muffler?

Azzie: Well, good luck getting a tank to run over an AT mine when there's Terminators and drones scouting and scanning the area. tongue

Turax: "Mines cost money. Also what Miss Azmodeus said, there's no way to make sure that the tank does drive into the mine. Sure, if it does, problem solved. But if it doesn't, you better have a flexible contingency plan." tongue

Six: -to Azzie and Turax- That's why rocket launchers exist.

And anti-tank lasers, if you can aim them right.

-to Quartz- Good thinking.

Problem is, where to get it?

Six: -to Turax- Only example I know of is the Spartan Laser. You have to heft it over your shoulder, and it's ruinously expensive, but with a full charge you can get four or five pulses. It fires a fifty megawatt laser pulse. Burns through most armor.

It'll kill just about anything in one hit if you know where to point it.

-to Quartz- I'm no drill sergeant.

Six: It is.

But like I said - ruinously expensive. And three seconds where they know it's charging and they're gonna do something about it.

So you have to use it far more smartly than, say, a rocket launcher.
