[SHERMAN]

Not complaining or anything, but a discussion would be nuce....

 

[Trevor]

I don't like the T-90 at all, or any other russian tanks. But if I were to choose, the most dangerous russian artillary would have to be the Sa-9 from an AFers point of view.

 

[A Can of Man]

Russian tanks tend to be grossly overrated and someway and somehow they turn out to be worse than on paper.

 

[Shadowalker]

The type 90 is said to be as good as any western european tank so i voted it the winner

 

[A Can of Man]

Yeah but haven't we heard that over and over and over?

 

[Shadowalker]

I said type 90 not T-90, and so far im the nly one to say its better then the T-90 on any topic that ive read

 

[SHERMAN]

Oh no, its a tie.....

 

[godofthunder9010]

What do you mean tie? I just got here. On the whole, the Type 90 looks solid enough, but the primary difference I'm seeing is the 125mm vs 120mm. T-90 is Russia's attempt to catch up. If it has any design flaws, I'm not aware of them.

 

[SHERMAN]

Probably has the same old fire-from-hall-down-postion problem...turret is too low so the gun cant be lowered as much as western tanks....The russians use to put logs on the back of the T-tanks so they can use them as external lowering...

 

[godofthunder9010]

Hadn't thought of that.

 

[SHERMAN]

Yep....Theyd drop the log, than reverse on it, so the back of the tank was elevated, causing the gun to have a greater lowering....

 

[A Can of Man]

Agh right I got confused. The Japanese Type 90.
Type... T... sometimes I get them muddled up.

Yeah, if Japan has lots of anything, it's technology and money. I wouldn't be surprised if the Type-90 is the MBT World's biggest surprise.

Diameter isn't neccessarily everything.
You know the T-72 also has a 125mm gun. But it's still inferior to the 120mm of the M-1 or the Leopard II

Well you'll have to operate one to really know I guess unless they're well known enough for most of us to know about.

[SHERMAN]

Dont back-to-back please...use the edit button.

 

[A Can of Man]

there's a way i can combine them using edit?

 

[SHERMAN]

Yes. Just use edit and add the new massage to the old one. Or, if you already submited the old one, copy it, and paste it into an old one...

 

[A Can of Man]

I just figured it out.
Sorry for the troubles.

 

[SHERMAN]

Alright...T90 is the winner.....
