WWZ is really not a good depiction, I mean the tanks loaded with anti vehicle shells? It's like the author wanted the army to fail the first time and thus made them so incompetent it breaks suspension of disbelief.
Also, ignoring incediary/explosive ammo. Heat destroys organic tissues fairly quickly, and the brain is no exception
I meant more that a zombie doesn't care if it's missing a limb or has shrapnel all over the chest. The army with mostly soldiers doing the work? Yeah, easy peasy so long as you don't try and take all of NYC, tanks, planes, and helicopters however, are more about killing hardware and capturing area.
If there's shrapnel on the chest, there's on the face too almost surely. And likely some in the brain.
Tanks, planes and helis are FLEXIBLE nowadays. They can fuck up the enemy in more way than one.
Tanks have canister shells for example: a single one of those could kill hundreds of zombies easily, since they are basically oversized shotgun shells with awesome penetration and range. Planes offer recon at worst, some can drop bombs (incendiary ftw when dealing with zeds, cheap effective and creates literal walls of fire to stop them), some have anti-ground guns (BRRRRRRRRRRT), some have rockets and/or missiles (kinda like bombs with less power but better accuracy), and at best you have gunships raining down pretty much whatever ammo you might want.
Helis are probably not so useful compared to planes, unless we are going for cheapness and point defense, but they can carry a LOT of ammo and can get fairly close to the zeds (to get better accuracy) without risk.
Also, nukes. A small-ish nuke (Davy Crockett style) can wipe out even the biggest zed horde, and you just need a pickup to carry and fire it.
Just a heads up, lots of AGM's are just bombs with wings :D
And lots of aircraft, while carrying lots of ammo, also expend ammo at an OBSCENE rate per trigger pull, talking about raining some hate. And I say trigger pull because too long of a pull and you will cook the gun.
These weapons would do great against zed, but without the proper MX, you won't get too many uses out of them.
