Those hell-carriers were nothing like tanks. They are simply flying battleships including modern battleship missile defenses and if you remember the Avengers, they can go invisible. Trying to fight them with an airforce or even every airforce would be every kind of dumb. Wouldn't take long for some genius to airburst emp them though as there is no way that little server farms in the glass domes are emp hardened.strumbore said:"Hey, you know, this might just make things MORE chaotic," or
"how does that target-predicting algorithm work again?" (Black Widow actually DOES ask this, LOL!) or,
"How does shooting enormous bullets into buildings distinguish individual, named threats?" or
"There's only 3 of these and they're literally moving block-to-block (world domination in 3 months?).", or--best of all:
"it would take any and every airfoce minutes to bomb one of these things out of the sky."
But ya, your right, the whole mysterious algorithm to find dissidents based on credit card purchases and test scores is more politics than science and the murder of millions of people by flying genocide battleships is a stupid stupid plan for world domination, especially when you've already been outed as the guys responsible.
I mean come on, those things weren't precision weapons, to get rid of 20 million targets they'd have to bomb the world into the stone age. kind of the opposite of bringing "Order" to the world.
