Plus, the location of each tank is tagged to its GPS. If that is off by say, 50 meters, that would have a great effect.

You may very well be right on such a scenario. However, I was always under the impression that it was only the handheld and other related devices that the average citizen can buy at the store, which were under such location accuracy limitations. It was because the U.S. government (maybe others too?) would purposely skew the precise location reading of these devices in the name of national security. However the military's GPS devices are supposedly very very accurate, atleast in the vast majority of the time. I would also wager that they would (or already have) come up with backup communication methods. What those may be, I have no idea. The point is that much of today's technology DOES help to clear up the foginess of war, atleast to some degree.
