The first pillar of the updated reverse art is the mastery of hull-down positioning. In previous iterations of armored warfare, staying stationary in a well-camouflaged berm was sufficient. Today, thermal imaging and synthetic aperture radar have made static camouflage nearly obsolete. The updated reverse art dictates a dynamic hull-down approach. Commanders now utilize "jockeying," where a tank moves forward into a firing position, discharges its main gun, and immediately uses its high-speed reverse gears to drop back behind the crest of a hill or into a prepared trench. This minimizes the "window of vulnerability" and forces the enemy to aim at a target that is constantly appearing and disappearing.
