| Golf clubs, suspension parts, versus submarine hulls, common fellas, lets bring a little realism to the comparison.
Electric drives huh. Well I've always had a problem with this from the naval viewpoint. What would you rather be in, a flooding compartment with high voltage electrical motors and/or a generator, or a flooding compartment with equivalent power hydraulic motors?
I know where this little black duck would rather be standing.
Power Electrics in an MBT tank that is operational, apart from being no longer water tight due to loss of hull integrity or simply a damaged seal, sounds like a recipe for disaster if theres any water about.
Don't get me wrong, I love electronics, but if theres a robust alternative in a combatant platform, throw away those electronics and stick with the solid stough.
