The T-72 is slightly dated Caid ;).

Nam, I never heard of a tank called Merkava. Is that a LeClerc?

[DjCiD]

I love that site Caid, I thought I was the only one who knew about it ;)

Heres one of my favorites the M2 Bradley

http://www.battletanks.com/m2_bradley.htm

Here are some remodeled ones

And here is The M2A2 Bradley

http://www.battletanks.com/bradley_m2a2.htm

There is even an HBO movie made about the Bradley and its History of trying to get passed for authorization to build. The movie is Pentagon Wars.

here are some funny quotes well they're funny if you saw the movie ;D

Sgt. Fanning: A troop-transport that can't carry troops. A reconnaissance vehicle that's too conspicuous to do reconnaissance.

Col. James Burton: And a quasi-tank that has less armor than a snow-blower, but has enough ammo to take out half of D.C.

Jones: You go out onto a battlefield with this pecker sticking out of your turret and the enemy's gonna unload on you with all they got. Might as well paint a big red bull's-eye on the side.

Col. Smith: But, it's a troop-carrier, not a tank.

Jones: Do you want me to put a sign on it in fifty languages: "I am a troop-carrier, not a tank. Please don't shoot at me"?

Jones: You've already got 4,400 rounds of machine-gun ammo. Now you want 25 m.m. shells?

Col. Smith: General wants his ammo.

Jones: He can't have his ammo. Not unless he runs alongside this thing carrying it.

Jones: Anti-tank missiles?!

Col. Smith: I don't know.

Jones: Where do I put them? The men will have to wear the missiles as hats!

Very nice site, but why are French tanks not listed?

[lowzeewee]

My Mech Warrior tanks look like this

This remains my favourite though this unit is green while the other 2 tanks are elite,SM1 Tank Destroyer:

I think that was an Israeli-made (no kidding) battle tank. Unlike other tanks, its engine is in the front, while the rear end has a hatch in which the crew can escape when hit. If you think that the design makes it vulnerable, remember that the thickest (and heaviest) armor on a tank is at the front...

I found out about the Merkava (Israeli word for "chariot") from a scale modeling magazine... ;D

[lowzeewee]

This thread is now called tank discussion where we can discuss about tanks,for those of u who have Real War:Land/Air/Sea,can u tell me why the tank is alike the artillery except that the artillery has to fire mortar shells up then let it fall.....might as well call the art a tank

Not fully, modernised model of T-72 is still main tank of most european countries. Including Slovakia. It has 125 mm cannon with laser aiming, able to blow up even Abrams.

Merkava (hebrew for "chariot") is one of the best and biggest tanks ever built. It's first and primary Israeli construction, with weight over 65 ton (Merkava Mk.II), 120 mm cannon (with about 70 rounds), 60 mm mortar, three machine guns, 5 crew members and speed still over 60 kph. Also includes highest Israeli aiming technology. It's tough unit.

Yes Merkava is the hebrew word for chariot, and yes it is one of the most secure tanks ever to be build. Beside ít's firepower and armour it simply looks evil.

sorry for the triple post my comp has been in fuck-up mode for sometime now.

[Caid Ivik]

This was a smallest tank of WW2, Goliath, remote controlled unit with explosives. No kidding, this was really used!

http://www.strandlab.com/potd/images/goliath.jpg

[Cyborg]

I know about the Goliath ;D. Even seen real films from ww2 with it. Extremely good for taking out almost anything!

As for the T(72,80,90) They are extremely good tanks with strong armor.

They are good enough to match the abrams, while the t-80 match the m2a2 ;)

[nampigai]

I wouldn't call the M2 a tank allthough I don't know what the right term for it is in English, and if I was to choose between a Russian tank or any western tank I'd go with the western. The Russian autoloading system is rather slow and have a tendancy to breakdown.

[Caid Ivik]

I've never fired from tank so I can't say which reloads quicker, but caliber is higher in russian ones (125 mm against NATO's 120 mm). About armor, well, T-72 isn't superior to Abrams. Equality is closer with T-90.

[Anathema]

The T-72 is lighter though.

Sorry if I've stated that t-72 is superior to abrams anywhere in this topic. What I meant is that you have almost the same odds of blowing the m1a1 as the m1a1 has of blowing you(maybe a few % less).

[Anathema]

Basicly, the one who fires first usually wins.

[Caid Ivik]

In Desert Storm Abrams faced T-72, and many of them were saved from destruction because of thick armor. Quality of projectile is also important factor. Shrapnell cell won't crush tank like i.e. good old uranium bolt.
