Aluminum vapours are toxic and deadly. Apparently they used to make tanks with aluminum, but then tankies who survived a direct hit inhaled some containing it and died from that instead.

It's also an incredibly soft metal that is stupidly easy to make holes in.

The Bradley has it, as well as some earlier tanks that where intended to be light enough to be airlifted or swim across water. Because it's light, it can trade armour for speed. The Bradley not intended to take out tanks, and only has very few anti tank missiles.
