Reply to comment by Lendyman in [WP] Yeah yeah, common Isekai plot from a nation in dire straits. However when they asked for a 'Warrior clad in steel', they didn't expect this strange, enclosed chariot to appear with people inside. These men call their beast a 'tank'. by 28th_Stab_Wound
true, but then you lose a main driving force behind the story, as well as lower the stakes, because now they can just do whatever, not having to worry about who they pick a fight with because they can always and forever either out run or out gun it
having them be forced to pick their battles based on ammunition levels, or take otherwise undesirable routes to try and conserve fuel opens the way to tension, and potential for other hooks to get dropped into the story along the way, so that once they manage to establish some way to re-up, the next story about going back and settling up with those who helped or harmed the party on their way

I agree that it'd be a better story your way, but if it was a Manga, they'd likely have the "cheat." Tropes being tropes.
