Discussion: What's your country's tank?

Goosey

And I mean your top-of-the-line tank, of course all countries use multiple varieties - I just want to know your best.

We use the Leopard 2A6M CAN, it has additional Canada-specific upgrades such as SLAT armor to protect from shaped charge warheads. They are the best tanks in the world with the best crews in the world

No one has their national tanks to share?

Mess. I'm not really all that into tanks, but have you heard of the UK ones that are going to get some sort of forcefield on them?

I think that they only work on missiles and mines tho.

Yes I am a mess

thanks for responding xoxo

Yes, I have heard of the Chally 2, I had to Google the force-field though. That's pretty interesting! Clever idea, but I wonder how long it will take before it's in service...

Chally 2 is apparently kind of slow compared to the others though, 300 less horses than Leo, Leclerc, Merkava, or Abrams. I also read they want to ditch the rifled barrel. It has a bivvie though.

And your tank would be the M1A2 SEP TUSK. About the only obvious "bad" thing about it would be the L/44 main gun, shorter and less muzzle velocity than the L/55 on the Leo 2. However I suppose that also makes it more maneuverable in urban areas, and what targets can't be destroyed with the L/44 and the latest DU ammunition anyways?

Kind of hard to compare modern tanks though since so much stuff is classified, and there haven't been any battles between the latest generation of MBTs yet.

That's about as much I can give ya.

(I legit came in here wondering if I'd see pictures like that.

I don't have a clue tbh

I also have no idea but when I google 'New Zealand tank" this is one of the results.

What random kind of thread, lmao

In Austria, we use the Leopard 2A5 apparently

I forgot to mention, Queen Rih uses an FV433 Abbot

It's a self-propelled howitzer, not a tank, but both armored and both tracked so whatever, she also had T55s in that video

This thread died prematurely. I presume people didn't see it. Anyways I feel like just picking a random user and checking their country's tank.

Random user generate... Sammi!

Sammi is in Serbia so his country's tank is the M-84AS, which entered service in 2004.

It's a development of the 1985 M-84, which was based on the T-72.

The M-84AS has an excellent power-to-weight ratio. The fire-control system is new and the gun is an updated 125mm and also able to fire laser-guided missiles with a range of 5,000 meters.

It has NERA to defend against kinetic and HEAT warheads, composite armor elsewhere, as well as the Russian Shtora system which interferes with enemy laser rangefinders and laser-guided missiles.
