I love the Retaliation HISS (I've got a half-dozen of 'em), but I think in "real life" you'd need two or three of any HISS to go up against one Mauler (assuming the Mauler really is an Abrams equivalent, and not a light tank like a Sheridan). That's where the Rattler comes in for Cobra.
This.
There really is very few situations where Cobra would need or be able to use an MBT.
However, don't knock the IFV. Bradley IFVs destroyed far more tanks than the Abrams did during the Gulf Wars. Their drawback is a lack of armor protection. For Cobra, this is not a serious concern because anyone is expendable to achieve a goal.
Also note that most of the HiSS drivers have some type of body armor - recognizing the insufficient armor on their sentry tanks.

Yep, this is the only MBT I have ever seen for Cobra.
