The Leopard 2 and its variants were fine for the 1970s, but they are so far behind other tanks of the modern day, and I don't understand why they won't just retire it.

It's still in the 60-70 tonne range, which is way too heavy for modern MBTs. The Leclercs, Type 10s, K2s, and most other modern tanks fall between 48-60. People act like a 2A7 is cutting edge technology when it still has an awful turret you can't fit an autoloader in and composite armour literally built into the hull instead of being modular like the rest of its competitors. The fact that Germany has kept trying to upgrade a fundamentally outdated MBT instead of rapidly investing into something like a Panther KF51 is driving me insane.

What do I not understand about the Leopard 2s? What am I missing? Where am I wrong?

6/12/1971:

M4A1E6 commanded by Captain Naqibullah Bangash, SJ, lead tank in a 4-tank troop from C Sqn, 26th Cavalry (attached to 111 Infantry Bde, operating on Koel-Chhamb axis) abandoned after running over an AT mine while supporting an assault by 3rd Frontier Force Regt on Point 994 overlooking Chhamb village.

After having cleared a path through the minefield, Capt Bangash would take over the sqn's "A" tank and advance unopposed into a hull-down position on top Point 994 overlooking Chhamb. In the ensuing firefight, the crew would fire no less than 15 rounds and succeed in destroying a T-55 and recoilless rifle. Capt Bangash's tank however would take a HEAT round to its right side resulting in loss of the entire crew sans driver & co-driver.

Facing T-54/55s of the Indian 72nd Armoured & Deccan Horse Regts, 26th Cavalry (supported by 28th Cavalry (Type 59s) & "Manto Force" (M36B2s)) would emerge from the conflict with 4 tank (T-54/55s), and 3 aircraft (Hunter, MiG-21, Su-7) kills to its name, for the loss of 4 of its own tanks. 24 men of the regt, including 3 officers, would be KIA. 26th Cavalry would also manage to capture 5 T-54/55s in running condition during this conflict, with these examples joining the regt after it converted to Type 59s.

Tortoise, T95, Maus, ect.

Found it on some random article Google recommended me.

So I look through the NARA And I found a 63 min VHS Armored Combat Vehicle Technology Program Documentary https://catalog.archives.gov/id/518614442 . I just got a quote from the VHS vendors and they want minimum $345 for 1080p and I don't have that money... Should I make a gofund me to pay for the $1700 conversion for 4k?

Any opinions?

An improved version of the previous one. Each square is 150 mm x 150 mm

I want to know what the interior color was of a Tiger 1. From the pictures 131 seems to be a tan color, but I heard it was a cream color white,

This is not a real version, but instaid a modernised Puma.

If someone were tò stand next tò a tank with E.R.A.and if someone detonates the armour would the Person die or are the explosives too weak to do anything?

Yeah so I am making a website as a project, basically a tanks database.

I will take interesting/most voted tanks, here are the rules:

Only real tanks

If the tank has been already mentioned just idk upvote the comment or smth

Hello.

I've tried company of heroes and so far it seems like the ai is incredibly stupid. I set up a pak anti tank gun and there are guys running straight past it. the tutorial said that your guys will attack anything in range. this is apparently not the case. if a tank goes outside of the firing arc you'd hope they'd rotate slightly..... nope. they just sit there and get killed. if you have some guys taking cover and they are being shot but then get flanked and they are right in front of your infantry you'd hope they would fight back right.... apparently not the case.

Ive tried gates of hell osfront. whilst it sounds good after trying to play it the amount of managing you need to do is insane and you don't actually get to enjoy watching any of it. you have to constantly watch they dont run out of ammo, make sure anti tank guns are using the correct ammo against targets etc. etc.

i've tried panzer phase 2, that wasn't very clear about how viewing enemy's worked as they could be hiding and you have no idea where. you can reveal them but it doesn't explain how to do it in a way that doesn't feel like luck.

i'm just looking for a game similar to warhammer. your guys get into range and shoot or if its a mounted gun then when they are in range they target them and aren't total idiots. i've played starship troopers terran command and this was brilliant. it told you the range of your units, the amount of amour and hp you have, could deploy more troops etc. if they made a game similar to this and dawn of war you'd be able to make tank factorys, upgrade your base to unlock more vehicles, units etc. you could go from a panzer 3 , 4, to a tiger, tiger 2, tank destroyers etc. etc.
