Leopard tank operator

[Tomazsky]

Germans have a history of making excellent tanks & armoured tactics.

Yeah man!!! I agreed... Look at WWII, where Nazi had produced one of their best tank like Tiger I, King Tiger... The Nazi panzer divisions were also the main force that successes in "Blitzkrieg" during early WWII.

 

[Mustank]

the tank can be fueled with diesel fuel, kerosene, any grade of motor gasoline, JP-4 jet fuel, or JP-8 jet fuel; the US Army uses JP-8 jet fuel in order to simplify logistics. The Royal Australian Armoured Corps' M1A1 AIM SA uses diesel fuel; it is cheaper and makes practical sense for Australian military logistics.

Hmmmmm................. maybe Hybrid ........

[Introz]

i encounter this before during my ICT days. if not because of the main gun, the tank could have turtled......1/5 of the main gun was stuff with soil!!

[Pocus]

heard that SM1 gun still more precision...

 

probably due to the smaller calibre main gun.

 

But being a light tank, SM1 have alot of limitations in firing, the angle and elevation is limited, the tank cannot fire on the move...yada yada..

technologically, the Leopard still has more survivability.

Does Garmin GPS included ......

actually SAF has been using Garmin GPS years before it got popular commercially.....just that got no digital maps, we have to see the MGR and compare to physical maps...lol

Eh, you've got to be fair, man. Yes, Nazis were monsters and murderers and such. No one can deny that.

 

But they were also bloody good engineers. They made the Panther (which is by far the best tank of WWII, rivaled only by the Russian T-34), the Fw-190, BF-109, the legendary Bismark and her sistership Tirpitz. They created the U-Boats and the wolf pack tactic. They gave the world the 88mm guns. They even had some crazy radical ideas that paved the way for later. Like the Ho-229, the beginning of BWB aircrafts. The Wasserfall, the V1 and V2, etc etc.

 

Can't deny that.

 

Condemn their action and philosophy, but respect their ingenuity and technology.

the 75mm is quite accurate up to 1.5km target once its boresighted correctly. anything further, the rounds tents to draft rightward which you need to compensate.

firing at the oil drums are fun!!

[Pmiw]

firing at oil drum is fun.

 

not setting it up and paint it.

the idea is to have a variation of fuel sources within their logistical operation and probably fuel easily scavenge from captured territories/supplies.
