So I was reading the bbq troll thread and it was hilarious. I haven’t laughed so hard in ages. Anyway, apparently there was a post that was about a tank fightinga aircraft carrier but the OP was banned and the post deleted. So now I am curious: assuming the tank is in range of each other, could it actually destroy the destroyer? Is that even possible?
