Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Can't speak for Leopard, but Abrams isn't too bad at all. As long as you have the spare parts. Torsion bars, roadwheel arms, lots of spare roadwheels and so on. Hydraulic systems leaked a fair bit, but the engine itself rarely gave trouble.

    NTM

    As you noted earlier - with only one REAL moving part, there is little to go wrong with the engine. Compare that with the 12-cylinder MTU unit in Leo-2 - comprising just under 3200 individual parts.....excluding ancilliaries.

    Great tank, Leo-2, however, at a unit cost of just over $4,500,000 (Leopard 2A6), it's not exactly a bargain.

    'spose you'd get away with it calling the main gun a shotgun - it IS a smooth-bore, after all.
