Rh 120mm is badass. It was a beast to fire. Just still not convinced that the 105mm rifled was not still more accurate, safer, and smaller allowing more rounds to be carried.
@@jefferydraper4019 I mean 48 rounds is a lot, multiply that by 4, and that's a single tank platoon. Accuracy today comes down to the bore-sight, and the crew; not so much the gun. As well as rifled guns are limited to what they can fire(no proper heat or sabot). there's no real comparison, I mean that exact gun has been used for nearly 25? years, and there is no protection in use that can effectively stand up to it.
@sean burke yes , tanks are old hat , no chance against modern drones and even infantry held misile /rocket launchers , also only the american and british tanks have proven cases in serious combat
Well, partly. Given one of these beasts and a manual, I'd be fairly confident I could beat even the best trained WO2 tankcrew. Skill is great, but there are advantages you cannot bridge with skill
K2, Type10, and Leopard 2A7V do shoot on their own. Both Chally 2 and Abrams still use +20 years old FCS. There is also a new player in the league. Its called T-90M - safe ammo storage with the blow-off cover - no flying turret, better protection, better FCS, 1150HP engine. Made in very small numbers tho. Compared to other Russian/Soviet tanks this one is quite pricy. Both Relikt ERA and Stora + Arena systems still work just as they did - useless.

The Leopard is everything german commanders like Guderian and Rommel would have dreamed about and then some. That tank looks sleek aggressive with a great design and an aura not to mess with.
It's kind of impressive how much armored warfare has developed throughout the years. Especially during the early-mid 1940s during WW2. In 1940 the tanks crews the commander hatch with periscopes and a scope for the gunner and it usually took a few shots to get the range right. Engagements were rarely over a longer distance than 2km. 4 years later the Germans mounted rangefinders since the guns could now fire over such long distances that letting one shot fly and aim thereafter wasn't cutting it. Maximum engagement ranges for the guns had been multiplied by 10 over a span of 5 years. The experimental range finder on one of teh Panzer V Panther variants had an effective range of 20km. To take that into perspective of how far that actually is, the longest hit from a naval gun onto another naval target was scored in 1940 and 1941 by the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst and the British battleship HMS Warspite. They hit their target at approximately 26km. However they were moving targets and they were moving themselves so that greatly affects the aim.
it's not at the top, the Leclerc should be at, he say that the Leclerc has less protection than the M1A2 or the Chally 2 he's stupid as fuck, the Leclerc is the only tank that can block his own shoot
taylor sims you mean an outdated tank that was literally built on a tractor by the New Zealand’s I guarantee that any modern day tank would destroy the tractor tank. Also it was considered the worst tank ever built
@@rodgerdehart4678 I don't think you understand that magnitude of terror that a single Bob Semple tank would unleash on the battlefield. The destruction and horror would be on a scale never before seen in the history of warfare. There is a reason that New Zealand never produced a domestic tank in modern times. They have already reached the peak of tank design. There is nothing in the Bob Semple tank that can possibly be improved.
The real point of the Israeli Merkava's unique rear hatch is no to carry "up to 10 soldiers when removing ammo" , there are regular APCs for that - but to drive in reverse to the back of a tank that was disabled and safely extract the crew while still being protected from just about anything, as the crew is more important than the tank. This approach was built upon the proven ability of crews to abandon disabled tanks and continue to fight in other tanks, as they did in the Golan Heights at the Yom Kipur war (one soldier famously went through half a dozen tanks in a single night as they were outnumbered over ten to one and used night time guerrilla tactics to harass and cause chaos in the Syrian armor. read about "Zvika Force", it's amazing!). The tank also has air conditioning, because middle east...
The rear hatch is a great idea..survival of the crew is very important for any army, but for israeli, where there big shortage of man power, it’s absolutely crucial.
i have been in the Greek armored division and i never really expected, how a country in such crysis can possess mostly leo 2a4 and 2a6 tanks, it was such an honor to serve in those beasts
In one encounter within the urban area a Challenger 2 came under attack from irregular forces with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. The driver's sight was damaged and while attempting to back away under the commander's directions, the other sights were damaged and the tank threw its tracks entering a ditch. It was hit directly by fourteen rocket propelled grenades from close range and a MILAN anti-tank missile.[14] The crew survived remaining safe within the tank until the tank was recovered for repairs, the worst damage being to the sighting system. It was back in operation six hours later after repairs.
I was a tanker in the army for 4 years. The abrams is an amazing machine and yes it requires immense servicing. But when operating correctly it’s a deadly machine indeed. I miss it but my lower back doesn’t 😂
Malik McDowell’s wrecked ATV I was a M1A2 Tank Engine mechanic/Tank recovery specialist at Fort Stewart GA 89’-93’......you aren’t lying, in the right hands of great crew the M1A2 can do devastating damage, I’ve seen it first hand during the ground war in desert storm.
The Tiger was a pretty waste of money... It had too many malfunctions, was too expensive, wasn't mass-producable (for Germany) etc The Tiger 1 and 2 were such a waste of money, they should've produced more Panthers which had their own malfunctions but basically did the same job at a way lower price I don't get why people say the Tiger was soooo good Of course compared too cheap produced tanks like the T34 or the Sherman it was good, but later Soviet an American tanks did the job And let's not talk about how once spotted, they were a big target for Bombers...
@@30oooo33 in 1941? I don't get the joke. You mean the north Africa campaign? Or Operation Barbarossa Either way the Tiger was used at the end of 1942...
Стас Borland86 Tiger wasn’t active in 1941 and US tanks underperformed during WW2 because they were designed for mass production as opposed to superior quality. British and German tanks were designed for quality over quantity however resource shortages forced German designers to cut corners.
Timothy Donald Cook But the microchips are made by Siemens Microtech 😂 Sorry Germany again. Don‘t be sad, but we invented the Flatscreen, Computer and TVscreen.
president camacho yes they are bigger in microships, but Bosch Sensortec is worldwide leader in sensor technology and I‘m sure there are a lot of them. We are also global partner in target acquisition systems and steel amor manufacturing.
On 26 February 1991, Trooper Gus Davidson, of the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, scored the longest tank-on-tank hit, at 4,700m, when his Challenger 1 knocked out an Iraqi T-55 during the First Gulf War. The Challenger 1 had an effective range of 1,200m. Very impressive.
That's the problem. For Germans there was no concept of "Good Enough" They overengineered every part of their tanks in WW2 and that resulted in small numbers due to complicated production/maintenance. Even best tank in the world gets destroyed if it gets swarmed by bunch of Shermans or t-34s to take 2 most numerous allied tanks of the war for instance
You say that brits and germans are looking to upgrade because of the Armata threat, yet you immediately proceed to rank the current British MBT above the Armata Literally makes no sense
@@willgirvan2491 You say that, the armour is extremely good and the gun is also extremely good. The mobility is great too so there isn't really any problems with it.
@@lonurad1259 it still uses a rifled gun which just doesn't provide the penetration power of modern smoothbores. The bottom baseplate is also due for upgrades because the armour there is thin. The tank is good but not as good as some would say
@@willgirvan2491 Yes there is practically no armour in the lower front plate but tanks don't aim there like in video games. The gun wasn't made for penetration power, of which is still good, and is made for accuracy which it is well known for. Even smoothbore guns have drawbacks. Yes it doesn't have superb penetration but it is more than adequate
the latest version of the Merkava is the Merkava 4 Barak upgrade which also includes AI, in sync with other tanks, other forces (infantry, artillery, navy, aiur force and etc.) and even satellites, and an F-35 style helmet visor which you can see outside the tank frame and hit targets, in addition to other data feed on the visor
Didn't search for this, just randomly pop up in my feed and I just clicked it because got nothing to do. Damn coronavirus make everything on UA-cam looks good.
K2 black panther has been developed based on T-80 tank technology as well as K1, M1 tanks technology. the Korea army is also operating T-80 combat tank as well as K1, K1A1 combat tank. So, K2 black panther has been developed with a good combination of the advantages of USA and Russian tanks.
@Stephen Jones amen brother amen..you beat me to it.....the yanks are renown for friendly fire incidents......its better to stay right away from them as they are as dangerous as the enemy ..or maybe moreso
@Stephen Jones may be the case with T 90 in Chechen crisis? Also people are like uh this tank is better then that and can beat it. Well war is not so simple. Depends who sees whom first and what ammo is used and connection with other vehicles. One of reasons why Iraq T 72 tanks just exploded, they had no ammo that can penetrate Abrams and also have been sitting ducks more or less, standing blind and alone.
@Peter J Mallia Leo 1 and 2 have both been in battle, on both occasions flying the danish flag. First time was in Bosnia during the UN operation, Danish Leos fought the Bosnian serbs. Danish Leo 2 have been deployed to Helmand province. Granted it never saw tank on tank operations, but nevertheless saw action.

@DjBalkoni Stalinium is stronger than that. Stalinium is Light, Impenetrable and Repels back all projectile that hit the tank while saying "сука блять"
Ukraines don’t seem to have a problem destroying T90s, just ask them, actually, ask the Russians who don’t seem to be putting any more tanks into the Ukraine war.
Everyone talking about how there tank is great and how Russian tank bad tank REE, lets all be honest, me included, none of us want to be getting shot at by any of these...
Unprofessional! Instead of Ukranian T80 there are demostrated a few videocuts with T64. Don't state that everything is well-known about the tanks in the video if you can't just differenciate the two tanks mentioned!
The titel is even better "... tanks ever build" Yeah, just wait till the next generation of european and american tanks come out and the only up to date tank on the list maybe would be the T-14 Armata. I also liek that the T-90 and T14 are mostly named in one video in a top 10 list XD Not like china doesn´t has the type 99 which would be liek the equivalent, maybe even a bit superior
@Ua la Halizeti And what are russian T-80? Not to mention that the ukrain was the main producer of T-64 and T-80 tanks for the whole soviet union and even after the T-72 was taken in service the production wasn´t stoped so the ukrain won´t loss too many jobs.
@@MilkTea101 The T-64 is mostly a ukrain design, the later T-80 a Russian one. Still it don't change the fact that the ukrain produced them at the time and as so had the plans and also capabilities to produce them. So why shouldn't they use them after the cold War, it was a proven design which had plenty of room for upgrades.
@@Tankliker In which context T-80 was more Russian than Ukrainian. First of all it was all Soviet Union. So no Russia, no Ukraine. T-80 design at 1967 was just a (further)reconsideration of the T-64A tank designed in Kharkov. While T-72 became a Russian, crude, cheap, stripped of advanced features poorman's T-64. T-80 was just a T-64 knock-off that lacked original design balance and ended up packed with poorly, yet costly, provided modenisation with the biggest issue possible a T-GE that just could not become a success in such a low tech.standards of organized servicing as seen in Russian army. That is no matter what. In the end, Siberian manufacturer of the T-80 lacked any interesting idea how to upgrade or modernize the tank. Therefore the T-90 took the official priority as an armored equippment modernisation and a financial backup.
When K2 didn't show up until No.3 I was like damn it's not getting any attention is it? But it was No.2 . I just love the fact that my country is doing at least something right.
i love the MBT Leopard 2A+. For now, my favorit variant of this peice of art, is the Canadian MBT Leopard 2A4M and 2A6M Variant. Thx Germany for this beautiful lady ;)
Lepoard 2A4 are really weak, look at tyrkis - syria war. 2A4 got blown up by rpg-s from frontal armor. Leopard has unprotected ammo rack in front hull xD and very big weak spot on turret sight ....but hey Lepoard 2 is best looking MBT
@@reigo141 you right but let's not forget that the 2a4m and the 2a4 aren't the same think, the 2A4 hàve less of defense and both of country made they own modifications on the MBT so the leopard 2A4 in Turky change for the Leopard 2A4TR. Also its depend how they use it and tyrkis are not the best operator for somme reasons, they training is quick and not the best if we compare it with the USA, CAN, GER, RUS, FR and the UK. But still, the leopard is one of the best MBT. The best version in or day is the 2a7+ x) Maybe i was't cear, in my first comment, i was talking more about the Canadian (the 2a4m and the 2a6m) variant because im from Canada and i am just a big fanatic of my army like you are with you'r... I guess. Anyway, i like your comment :D i didn't inspect that someone will talk about the Turkish incident xD

I feel like the Armata tank design perfected will ultimately be the future of tank technology. It make sense to me, by removing humans you can introduce improved survive ability, hull shapes, armor and mechanisms.
still its speed isnt good enough and it needs better acuracy and leopard 2a7 has pretty much everything a tank needs it has good armor, good speed and manuverability,great percision and great range.
@@rdengin Victory isn't the question here, what's the deadliest modern tank, that's the question and the answer is, at least according to this video: German Leopard 2A7+ Combine Leopard 2A7+ with the future Armata concept and you will probably have the best tank of the near future. It's a continuous upgrading & redesigning, it never stops.

A Brazilian company developed an armored vehicle called “Osorio”, this armored vehicle competed with M1 Abras and won, but the American government convinced the Arabs not to buy the armored vehicle, so the company took a default and nobody bought the armored vehicle, and as the armor was very expensive the company went bankrupt, if the armored vehicle had been sold maybe it would be on that list.

But loading the gun is a bitch and can take ages... Take it from a leopard crewman... We just pop in the round , push the right button and yell loud af , loaded !! My personal record as a loader was 2.0 seconds flat... Wich gives the gunner significant increase of firepower compared to a Challenger tank. Just curious as a Dutch veteran leopard crewmen , how do you guys train? We would take pride in getting the fastest time in the practice halls , where there was basically free standing Leopard towers slung to computers , wich could fully operate and simulate a crew fighting, loading dummy rounds wich would just roll out , like in a bowling alley... Top fun.
now russia have so few tanks that they had to ask Belarus for t-72S BECAUSE UKRAINE HAD DESTROYED ALL OF THEM AS WELL AS T-90 AND 80s. Russia lost that conflict
honestly id take a challenger and an abrams over any of these other tanks, theyve seen combat and proven they can get the job done, and considering how the last german super tank faired when actually fighting despite being great on paper i find it funny that it got the top spot.
@Peter J Mallia fun fact, the best tank in the world is the T-14 Armata from Russia and the 2nd best is the Leopard 2A7V from Germany, the 3rd best is the M1 Abrams from the USA
@@thelastword4635 t-14 hasn't been in any combat so you can't say it's the best tank in the world, a bit of paper could say anything, without a true test it's nothing
I served in the IDF armoured corp in the Merkava Mk3 and can't imagine fighting in a tank without a rear aisle and door; it's life changing. We put shells in from the bank, evacuate injured and even get in with no need to walk on top of the tank exposing yourself to enemy fire. Merkava have been used as "tankbulances" since injured, I mean especially from other units, can be loaded into the back so easily. And I say aisle since for 99% of the tanks that's all there is, a meter and a half pathway and a big hatch, since they're ready to be fully loaded with shells on either side.
But all the international tank trials and competitions show otherwise The Challanger 2 in itself is a solid tank and is very well suited to fight tanks 1 Generation below it. But in a pure objective tank on tank comparison, no crew training and other military assets involved, it falls behind pretty much every other Western competitor and even some Eastern
@@keeperofthecheese I want many things, but Britain certainly doesn't want the Challanger 2 as can be seen with the more recent collaboration between BAE Systems and Rheinmetall. They're literally trying to replace the things that make a Challanger a Challanger; Rifled gun will make way for a new L/55 smoothbore, thus new standardized one-piece ammo, also allowing for safer storage and less fatigue on the loader and a new turret with upgraded composites. The weak engine will be thrown out too, instead of the low-power 1200hp engine it'll get a new automatic trasnmission and the Europack MTU 1500hp engine. Gosh, how many nations have bought the Challanger 2 tank? Oh yea, right, Oman bought 38 of those. Even the Leclerc has sold better. How many Nations operate the M1 Abrams? Do I even have to start talking about the Leopard 2? Many nations have done plenty of extensive testing and trials when looking for a new MBT for their nations military and in pretty much all of them, it was another tank that won, not the Challanger 2. Mate, I don't wanna hate on the Challanger 2 here, I think it's an intersting and unique tank, but I simply don't understand this "Challanger 2 best tank EU West" mode many people are in. Do you really wanna argue against all the experts, engineers, military personal and politicians which have rejected the Challager 2 because of good reasons? I can give you 1 example of those "trials" that I'm pretty knowledgeable about. When Greece was looking for a new tank. The competition was the German Leopard 2A5, American M1A2 (Export), French Leclers with the EuroPowerPack (1500hp), Russian T-80U, Ukrainian T-84 and, you guessed it, the Challanger 2E (E beeing an upgraded tank outfitted with new optics, thermals and once again, the MTU 1500hp engine, just to make potential customers more interested) heck, that Challanger 2E was even better than what the British fielded at that time. The Challanger 2 made it to the 4th place, with top 5 and 6 beeing outdated Soviet-ERA MBTs. The Leopard 2 scoring 78/100 points, Challanger 2 got 69/100. You don't even have to look at the Greel trials, just look at pretty much any internatinal tank challange, like the "Strong Europe Tank Challenge". You know, things like, "no one has ever destroyed one in combat" and "longest tank kill" always sounds nice without the context behind it. But guess what the British were fighting when they were deploying their tanks, guess how skilled the crew of said tanks is and guess who they were fighting with! They certainly know how to use a tank well, hull down and squeeze out every possible advantage, unlike some of the Turkish crew manning a Leopard 2 making terrible mistakes. I guess fighting alongside the USA might have helped to, the worlds best equipped military and especially airforce. "Wow, no Challanger 2 tanks have ever been lost?!" Those Iraqi T55s and, if at all, cheap export T-72Ms, must have been a big threat to those Abrams and Challanger 2 tanks, fighting at night with no air superiority, no Thermals, outdated ammunition and having to engage well trained troops at 2km+. I still respect the crew of any tank and what they are doing, it's not an easy job, I just wanna get rid of this stupid "Godlike" comparison, with the Challanger 2, out of peoples minds And other arguements you wanna trow at me Mr Wolfe?

War jokes aside: It's incredible that the Germans developed a tank in the 1970's (!) and it's still considered the best in the world. Sure, it got a lot of mods and upgrades since then, but it still tells a lot about German engineering.
The thing that most of these have never been tested against eachother and that most are still unknown is incredibly ominous. Like, if a WWIII suddenly broke out, there'd suddenly be mass-produced tanks that nobody has ever seen before, slinging plasma bolts at eachother instead of the old fashioned sabots. The solid slugthrowers would still be in service, but not for long.

Challenger 2 armour is not Chobham armour, that was designed in the 1960's and was used on late Chieftain and early versions of Challenger 1, Challenger 2 if fitted with Dorchester armour.
No the Challenger 2 was made with Chobham, then more were made with Dorchester. Then the UK Army was down sized so the older Chobham were mothballed/put in storage/whatever-you-call-it. And all that was left were the newer Dorchester ones. I believe the new BLACK KNIGHT upgrade takes it to a new level still.

@@jefferydraper4019 I mean 48 rounds is a lot, multiply that by 4, and that's a single tank platoon. Accuracy today comes down to the bore-sight, and the crew; not so much the gun.

Its called T-90M - safe ammo storage with the blow-off cover - no flying turret, better protection, better FCS, 1150HP engine. Made in very small numbers tho.

It's kind of impressive how much armored warfare has developed throughout the years. Especially during the early-mid 1940s during WW2. In 1940 the tanks crews the commander hatch with periscopes and a scope for the gunner and it usually took a few shots to get the range right. Engagements were rarely over a longer distance than 2km. 4 years later the Germans mounted rangefinders since the guns could now fire over such long distances that letting one shot fly and aim thereafter wasn't cutting it. Maximum engagement ranges for the guns had been multiplied by 10 over a span of 5 years. The experimental range finder on one of teh Panzer V Panther variants had an effective range of 20km. To take that into perspective of how far that actually is, the longest hit from a naval gun onto another naval target was scored in 1940 and 1941 by the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst and the British battleship HMS Warspite. They hit their target at approximately 26km. However they were moving targets and they were moving themselves so that greatly affects the aim.
Finally!

I agree with u, Kamerad

Not a single bob semple tank was destroyed in ww2, meaning it was better then any German tank during ww2
taylor sims you mean an outdated tank that was literally built on a tractor by the New Zealand’s I guarantee that any modern day tank would destroy the tractor tank. Also it was considered the worst tank ever built
@@rodgerdehart4678 I don't think you understand that magnitude of terror that a single Bob Semple tank would unleash on the battlefield. The destruction and horror would be on a scale never before seen in the history of warfare. There is a reason that New Zealand never produced a domestic tank in modern times. They have already reached the peak of tank design. There is nothing in the Bob Semple tank that can possibly be improved.
Do you know how many Bob Semple tanks were destroyed during combat in ww2? None. That’s how strong of a tank it was
The real point of the Israeli Merkava's unique rear hatch is no to carry "up to 10 soldiers when removing ammo" , there are regular APCs for that - but to drive in reverse to the back of a tank that was disabled and safely extract the crew while still being protected from just about anything, as the crew is more important than the tank. This approach was built upon the proven ability of crews to abandon disabled tanks and continue to fight in other tanks, as they did in the Golan Heights at the Yom Kipur war (one soldier famously went through half a dozen tanks in a single night as they were outnumbered over ten to one and used night time guerrilla tactics to harass and cause chaos in the Syrian armor. read about "Zvika Force", it's amazing!). The tank also has air conditioning, because middle east...
The rear hatch is a great idea..survival of the crew is very important for any army, but for israeli, where there big shortage of man power, it’s absolutely crucial.

Not crysis but crisis.
In one encounter within the urban area a Challenger 2 came under attack from irregular forces with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. The driver's sight was damaged and while attempting to back away under the commander's directions, the other sights were damaged and the tank threw its tracks entering a ditch. It was hit directly by fourteen rocket propelled grenades from close range and a MILAN anti-tank missile.[14] The crew survived remaining safe within the tank until the tank was recovered for repairs, the worst damage being to the sighting system. It was back in operation six hours later after repairs.

T-80 was just a T-64 knock-off that lacked original design balance and ended up packed with poorly, yet costly, provided modenisation with the biggest issue possible a T-GE that just could not become a success in such a low tech.standards of organized servicing as seen in Russian army.

Challenger 2 is famous for its durability, 70 RPG strikes in one sitting, 14 + Milan ATGM in another, on two occasions where it's been impacted by a large IED & 1 RPG29 one off shot strike on the edge between the lower & lower lower plate resulting in upgraded armour package they were still recoverable under their own power & its Chobham armour is 2nd gen whereas the Abrams has 1st gen reinforced by DU plates.
Nah maybe you mean 12300 rpg strikes ?
But loading the gun is a bitch and can take ages... Take it from a leopard crewman... We just pop in the round , push the right button and yell loud af , loaded !! My personal record as a loader was 2.0 seconds flat... Wich gives the gunner significant increase of firepower compared to a Challenger tank.
Just curious as a Dutch veteran leopard crewmen , how do you guys train? We would take pride in getting the fastest time in the practice halls , where there was basically free standing Leopard towers slung to computers , wich could fully operate and simulate a crew fighting, loading dummy rounds wich would just roll out , like in a bowling alley... Top fun.
now russia have so few tanks that they had to ask Belarus for t-72S BECAUSE UKRAINE HAD DESTROYED ALL OF THEM AS WELL AS T-90 AND 80s. Russia lost that conflict
Nice, only tank never defeated in combat, challenger 2, gets the whole of 2 minutes worth, well done
@Peter J Mallia you are clearly not up to date on the T-14
honestly id take a challenger and an abrams over any of these other tanks, theyve seen combat and proven they can get the job done, and considering how the last german super tank faired when actually fighting despite being great on paper i find it funny that it got the top spot.
@Peter J Mallia fun fact, the best tank in the world is the T-14 Armata from Russia and the 2nd best is the Leopard 2A7V from Germany, the 3rd best is the M1 Abrams from the USA
@@thelastword4635 t-14 hasn't been in any combat so you can't say it's the best tank in the world, a bit of paper could say anything, without a true test it's nothing
@Sylling Boy such as what? non combat tests which were performed under the best of conditions?
3:08 you messed up with Algerian and Azerbaijan flags
I served in the IDF armoured corp in the Merkava Mk3 and can't imagine fighting in a tank without a rear aisle and door; it's life changing. We put shells in from the bank, evacuate injured and even get in with no need to walk on top of the tank exposing yourself to enemy fire. Merkava have been used as "tankbulances" since injured, I mean especially from other units, can be loaded into the back so easily. And I say aisle since for 99% of the tanks that's all there is, a meter and a half pathway and a big hatch, since they're ready to be fully loaded with shells on either side.
l like this design it has proven itself l think more than any other tank on this list too
I have never met any Israeli on the internet, wow.
Nice tank you got there... But let me introduce you to my new best friend... FGM-148 Javelin. ;-)
Am I the only one who loved that Japanese terrain....It looked ao beautiful ❤💚
The climate was epic too.
Battlefield V: The last tiger anyone?
Battlefield 5 was shit and unrealistic... dont even get me started on the insane speed of the tigers turret rotation... its crippling

Glossed over Challenger two in just one minute. When it's battle record is more than exceptional.
But all the international tank trials and competitions show otherwise
The Challanger 2 in itself is a solid tank and is very well suited to fight tanks 1 Generation below it. But in a pure objective tank on tank comparison, no crew training and other military assets involved, it falls behind pretty much every other Western competitor and even some Eastern
Its bad
It literally has the record for longest tank kill, and no one has ever destroyed one in combat, what more do you want.
@@keeperofthecheese I want many things, but Britain certainly doesn't want the Challanger 2 as can be seen with the more recent collaboration between BAE Systems and Rheinmetall. They're literally trying to replace the things that make a Challanger a Challanger; Rifled gun will make way for a new L/55 smoothbore, thus new standardized one-piece ammo, also allowing for safer storage and less fatigue on the loader and a new turret with upgraded composites. The weak engine will be thrown out too, instead of the low-power 1200hp engine it'll get a new automatic trasnmission and the Europack MTU 1500hp engine.
Gosh, how many nations have bought the Challanger 2 tank? Oh yea, right, Oman bought 38 of those. Even the Leclerc has sold better. How many Nations operate the M1 Abrams? Do I even have to start talking about the Leopard 2?
Many nations have done plenty of extensive testing and trials when looking for a new MBT for their nations military and in pretty much all of them, it was another tank that won, not the Challanger 2. Mate, I don't wanna hate on the Challanger 2 here, I think it's an intersting and unique tank, but I simply don't understand this "Challanger 2 best tank EU West" mode many people are in. Do you really wanna argue against all the experts, engineers, military personal and politicians which have rejected the Challager 2 because of good reasons?
I can give you 1 example of those "trials" that I'm pretty knowledgeable about. When Greece was looking for a new tank. The competition was the German Leopard 2A5, American M1A2 (Export), French Leclers with the EuroPowerPack (1500hp), Russian T-80U, Ukrainian T-84 and, you guessed it, the Challanger 2E (E beeing an upgraded tank outfitted with new optics, thermals and once again, the MTU 1500hp engine, just to make potential customers more interested) heck, that Challanger 2E was even better than what the British fielded at that time. The Challanger 2 made it to the 4th place, with top 5 and 6 beeing outdated Soviet-ERA MBTs. The Leopard 2 scoring 78/100 points, Challanger 2 got 69/100.
You don't even have to look at the Greel trials, just look at pretty much any internatinal tank challange, like the "Strong Europe Tank Challenge".
You know, things like, "no one has ever destroyed one in combat" and "longest tank kill" always sounds nice without the context behind it. But guess what the British were fighting when they were deploying their tanks, guess how skilled the crew of said tanks is and guess who they were fighting with!
They certainly know how to use a tank well, hull down and squeeze out every possible advantage, unlike some of the Turkish crew manning a Leopard 2 making terrible mistakes. I guess fighting alongside the USA might have helped to, the worlds best equipped military and especially airforce.
"Wow, no Challanger 2 tanks have ever been lost?!" Those Iraqi T55s and, if at all, cheap export T-72Ms, must have been a big threat to those Abrams and Challanger 2 tanks, fighting at night with no air superiority, no Thermals, outdated ammunition and having to engage well trained troops at 2km+.
I still respect the crew of any tank and what they are doing, it's not an easy job, I just wanna get rid of this stupid "Godlike" comparison, with the Challanger 2, out of peoples minds
And other arguements you wanna trow at me Mr Wolfe?
@@Sebastian-yl7nq i hate it when i see people try hard to be an "expert" in the comment section when they can not run 2km or aren't even in the army. spare us with your long narration that we would not read mr tank expect. every nation has its own advantage on their tanks. some have strong amours like challanger, some are fast like our russian ones and some have advanced weapons. Each one of them can destroy the other. but having a strong armour u have the upper hand. we are mature and can read and make reseach so don't come and try to tell us something u think we don't know. there is nothing u know we don't know.R
T-90: "We are great Russian tank!"
Javelin missile: 🤣🤣🤣
Before someone complains, the M1A2 is used by the US Army however the M1A1 is still being used by the USMC
At 3:09 you invert the flags the second one is from azerbaijan and the third one is the algerian .
Woah the Korean tank is amphibious 🤯
I don't think so
It's called Deep wading and is something most MBTs can do.
@@dravenmaster7859 It is, takes about 30 minutes to set up. can dive about 4 meters.
It is (like the gun, transmission, suspension and probably the armor) a german imported feature.
T90 is the best tank i the world, it has a flying turret. tested in Ukraine.
Currently going through my application to (hopefully) be a Tank Crewman. And cant wait to work with the Challenger 2. The thing is beautiful.
My father used to be part of a challenger crew. He loved it. Also, you might get to see the new challenger III thats coming
@@rabiez Unfortunately, I needed an allergy test which because of Covid got delayed several times(still haven't had it) waiting so long made me lose the motivation I did have. So I backed out now. Its still a job I'd like to do but I've been waiting for a test for over a year now with no actual date for it lol.
@@rabiez there is no challenger 3 they are just upgrading the challenger 2 which will bring it into the 21st century with the rest.
@@terrywainman6050 mate. Its already been listed as the "challenger 3". I get what youre saying, but eith that logic the challengr 2 would still be the challenger 1
Never mess with Germans
The Challenger 2 is the best, it has a kettle and a little cupboard for teabags. “You’ll just have to wait mate, we’re on our tea break”
Remember delivering Centurion eng. to the Dutch in the 70s, and having to wait for them to get out of bed, this on exercise, talk about laugh. Heard they had a union?
War jokes aside:
It's incredible that the Germans developed a tank in the 1970's (!) and it's still considered the best in the world.
Sure, it got a lot of mods and upgrades since then, but it still tells a lot about German engineering.
The t14 could potentially be better but until it is battle tested we know nothing for certain.
i swear u featured ukranian t-64s for some of the oplot footage and the cover photo is a type 10 not a type 90
K2 👍
Brother you misspelled kv2
3:10 the Algeria's flag is on the right,and not the one in the middle
Jst for the record
The thing that most of these have never been tested against eachother and that most are still unknown is incredibly ominous. Like, if a WWIII suddenly broke out, there'd suddenly be mass-produced tanks that nobody has ever seen before, slinging plasma bolts at eachother instead of the old fashioned sabots. The solid slugthrowers would still be in service, but not for long.

Second time you done this, type 10 in video, and you call it a type 90

I see Germany hasn't lost it's touch in expertise with tanks. One of them kept an Iron Cross for good measure.
it's still the symbol of the Bundeswehr
Every Tank of the German military still has the Iron Cross on it and all planes and jets aswell! The Airforce in germany is aslo still called "Luftwaffe" like it was called over 70 years ago
Wow. Less than 40 seconds talking about the Challenger 2. Granted the tank has a new variant named Challenger 2 Mk 2.
Megaton armour layout
Also a very impressive Dorchester Armour layout
Never been destroyed in combat and only destroyed once by ourselves accidentally but never killed on the battlefield
Turret armour withstands any known battlefield weapon
And you pretty much over saw this and just spoke less than 40 seconds

It would be nice to see Canada get this upgrade, we are still using the Leopard 2A4
we have some 2a6.

its an absolute fucking banger of a tank though seen a good few they look so good cant wait till the new f35s come in too Canada is getting an actual modern military for the first time since ww2. ngl up until a couple decades ago we were still on the leopard 1 the ancient beast of a leopard
I think that is more than enough.?
Imagine Germany being in the situation of us in terms of size, population and money but still stays German. It would Form a superb military force
It still can in its current state you know.

Can't argue with that list. Good stuff.
Challenger 2 armour is not Chobham armour, that was designed in the 1960's and was used on late Chieftain and early versions of Challenger 1, Challenger 2 if fitted with Dorchester armour.
Which boss does that armor drop from?
Dorchester is a version of improved Chobham that is why it is sometimes called Chobham 2
No the Challenger 2 was made with Chobham, then more were made with Dorchester.
Then the UK Army was down sized so the older Chobham were mothballed/put in storage/whatever-you-call-it. And all that was left were the newer Dorchester ones. I believe the new BLACK KNIGHT upgrade takes it to a new level still.
@@WorshipinIdols Yes mate Black Knight is mainly an electronic systems upgrade including better sensors, new commanders TI/O sight, new driver night vision system, laser detection system and Iron Fist anti missile defence system, also an integrated battle management system for the commander.
AYNSLEY STORY
forgive me but I must respectfully disagree.
1st of all I made a mistake earlier I meant to write Challenger 2 not just “Challenger” I will edit the statement plz reread.
Obviously we both know the challenger 1 was basically a different tank all together functionally speaking.
2. A man is only as good as his source aye? I got my info from Jane’s. A UK publication actually. How about that!
They clearly showed and identified thick additional skirt and side appliqué armor kits IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU SAID (that part is totally correct).
I wonder how much of an improvement the Leclerc will have with the XLR/Scorpion upgrade.
Merkava is accentuated in the final "a". It means "chariot" in Hebrew.
1. All around full armor protection not just at the front but also at the sides, top, rear, and bottom.
2. Powerful and fuel efficient and SIMPLE engine.
3. All mechanical systems to replace hydraulics, pneumatics, electricals.
4. All analog and manually controlled optics to enhance surveillance and target acqusition.
5. No fancy electricals and no electronics and no computers that can be EMP totally.
6. Has multiple redundancies in all systems.
7. Has multiple redundancies in all safety designs and engineering.
8. Has multiple redundancies in life-support for 4 weeks if needed with full CBR crew gear.
9. Has all around paramedic on board logistics for all kinds of medical needs.
10. Has sufficient fuel and ammunition for 3 to 7 days of non-stop fighting engagement and a 3 day
emergency fuel supply.
11. Has multiple redundancies in 2-way communications with other tanks and with HQ base.
