that right sea cadet. look total different and the challenger 2 has the better armour. it was design by the same guy how gave the US amry chombon but the would now were to imporve it better the any US Army scientists. so it would believe that the challenger 2 is better.
it supose to do with the fact in the challenger it had tungtens rod in it in layers i guess they replace them with du rods or a combine them in different layers.
were the abrams have had bolt on du plates to what i have read.
the many reason know country expect the Britsh army have used it is the fact it use a none nato weopon in the form of a 120mm rifled gun. which in my thoughts is one of the best if not the best anti tank gun out now. it fire charm 1&3 and hesh which i like.
that why the greece did not order it ever with it win most of the trails and same in Australia.
the gun is one of the reason in most tank compertion that the challenger 2 is place low then others as it is slow fire only a round every 5 seconds.
when on fire range it out shots all other tanks. this maybe down to a the crew or it could just be down to the fact rifled gun are more accurate with more first shot hit then any other tank.
mean more first shot kills. as it has the longest comfirmed kill in the gulf war 2003 at 2.3mile. and the longest overall tank to tank kill is take by the older challenger at a 5100m no other tank has a kill that long. this was at night the kill was made i have read.
so why then do most of you all think a tank design in the 70s not name any names "abrams" can bet a tank design in the 90s. As it is the news of this genations tanks in service with a country
one flaw with the abrams is the hull design it does not take kindly to being upgrade cheaply and quickly like most other tanks.
that why the challenger 2 wins.
