hitman Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I still wouldnt want to be on the wrong side of the US armys tech...guided artillary shells, handheld missiles that can destroy tanks, and now guided tank shells.
ARM505 Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Tanks are highly specialised weapons, extremely potent when properly applied. Of course, let's not forget that a combat engineer with a shovel, a pool of muddy water, or even a steep hill can also have their way with them at times!
rogue_blade Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I'd rather my Challenger II over a Leopard or M1A2 anyday [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Namenlos Ein Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Damn, my nation needs this lolcatz!!11 Well, it seems like US Army is finally closing the gap to that T-80s long range attack power: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2009/02/military_tank_round_020909w/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM1111_Mid-Range_Munition http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Raytheon_Mid_Range_Munition_Projectile_Scores_Direct_Hit_Against_T_72_Tank_999.html — March 1, 2007. Can it be use effectively against helicopters?
nscode Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I'd rather my Challenger II over a Leopard or M1A2 anyday I'd rather stay at home :D Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.

CE_Mikemonster Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 At the end of the day the hardware really comes second next to tactics, morale and training. If your M1A2 was worse than the opposition i'm hoping you wouldn't use it in the same way you would against T-55's lol Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
topol-m Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) This self-guiding XM1111 Mid-Range Munition is yet to be aproved for serial production (is it possible for it to make a 180degree turn and ... "Incomiiiing :joystick: "). And it is expected for the T-95 to have 135mm or 152mm gun and able to fire missiles at distances of 7km or more, so he`s going to have the edge on the western tanks. And as for the Leo 2a6, man germans allways knew how to make the best tanks: check out this beauty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leo2pso_009.jpg Unfortunately americans should have cooperated more seriously with germans when making M1A1 cause the only good thing about it is its Rheinmetall 120 mm gun.

Namenlos Ein Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 And T-90 looks much more scary: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=639622&postcount=41
ED Team Groove Posted February 21, 2009 ED Team Posted February 21, 2009 In my opinion a effective combat range of more than 4 km is not "neccessary" or "realistic" for a mid-europe tanke engagement. But it's better to have 5km+ range than dont having it :) Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
CE_Mikemonster Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Interesting if it's a flat terrain I suppose, esp. against hull-down tanks. Edit: What are the eyes on the T-90? Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T

Namenlos Ein Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 No, I haven't. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/rsa/g6.htm The manufacturer has developed the T-6 155mm turret from the G-6 and it has been fitted to T-72 hull and India's Arjun hull for trials.
topol-m Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 What is the name of this machine, and which country is producing/testing it? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Zulu Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Man that Oliphant looks huge compared to the T-80. Check out the low profile the "T" has. And how slim the turret is. In actual fact that is why it was so successful against the T-55s and T-60s during the Angolan Civil war because the t's couldn't see over the thick african bushveld while the Olifant could which resulted in a better sighting of the target and thus a better kill rate, in fact off hand I dont know of any olifants lost to enemy tanks.
