T-90 hands down... Relatively Cheap for a top-of-the-line tank, small, streamlined, extremely fast, better protected than an M1A2, has a 2A46M 125-mm smoothbore gun on par with the M1A2's M256, excellent range, ATGM capability, ridiculously rapid firing rate... only minor bugger is its comfort
armor-wise you can count that all Modern MBT's will be almost equally well protected... but the T-90 has the edge in electronic countermeasures
I'm not that familar with the T-90. What ECM features does the T-90 possess that makes it superior to other MBTs?
well there isn't much you can do to fool a shell, but the T-90 has a TShU-2 "Shtora" optical-electronical countermeasure complex which is allegedly able to reduce an ATGM's hit probability by at least 70%, and to greatly disrupt and reduce the accuracy of enemy laser rangefinders... Also it has one of the highest, if not the highest concentration of ERA on the turret roof of any tank, making it alot more ATGM-resistant than most tanks... Not sure about its resistance against HEAT shells though
Oh yeah? Well, Smeghead, I went onto www.fprado.com and found out that t...Other than admitting you were wrong, that is.
Well Blaster, before actually saying anything I would check the site myself... and then seriously ponder the mental capacity of any person who quoted that site of saying somethign which, in fact, they did not cheers buddy
smeghead - similar warning. No descriptions of mental capacity please. Right, back to the discussion!
Yes, like Ricky said, back to the discussion. I think it's about time for me to say something related to the original topic. I'd pick the M1A2 Abrams to be the workhorse of my armored units. I'd also get a few Challenger 2s and Merkavas. Not to mention Leopard 2A6s, the very tank that I WAS giving quite a bit of competition from the Abrams.
So you'd take mainly Abrams tanks with peashoter 120 mm L/44 guns and then intersperse it with other kinds of tanks to make standardization and logistics more difficult. Bad idea.
As in wholly inappropriate. Never debate like that, it leads only to insult, not to any exchange of information or an actual argument.
Oh, c'mon, Panzerman!!! My opinion has changed!!! What's the matter with choosing a few more different tanks???
People and their requirements about OTHER people's forums. :roll: Well if it'll make you happy, then, M1A2 Abrams because it uses American ammo which is very good and turns this so-called "peashooter" into the deadly, tank-killin' cannon that it was supposed to be. Which, it is. PS Yes, I know I started the peashooter thing, but that's all in the past, now it's time to get to the present, where muzzle velocity is NOT the only thing that matters.
It's not so much about other people's requirements as it is about taking into account the real and trying factors of tank warfare. And in case you have been decieved of otherwise, this forum is a gathering open to the public, which means that there are no restrictions to another's post except for those installed by the moderators, and rightfully so, too, if I may add.
