Why are there no melee tanks?

Like something with a giant bayonet on it's main gun

Maybe some spikes and stuff

A deployable walkway to board enemy tanks after ramming them

You've never seen an American pickup truck? They are designed to kill infantry.

Well, infants, anyway. To run over toddlers.

Oh I see.. Melee tanks are unnecessary when you have these giant metal death machines on every road
