I can accept that. I can accept that they're occasionally used to supplement armor. I can't square the lack of equally-heavy combatants. Either the thing is massively over-engineered (in which case the people who awarded the contract to the designer were fools) or there's something preventing them from removing the recovery equipment and changing the profile so it can go hull-down, and therefore making a better HIFV (which might be preferable to pure tanks for doctrinal reasons). Armor recovery shouldn't take place on the front line. It'd occur behind.
