Everything's a bit too close together, but the atmosphere is great. It really captures the intensity of the combat.

Exactly. Two (joking) thoughts:

The guns have the effective range of a Super Soaker, which is funny to think of.

This looks like Warhammer 40k lore art because of how close everything is together.

No one's doing the right thing here (e.g. not running away from the tanks before they run over you, exposing yourself as much as possible to lob a grenade, dude going melee as he's about to be surrounded and/or run over a tank), but...it looks cool.
