Collimatrix Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 This is wonderful. I learned: 1) The leo 1 had poor hull armor, but excellent turret armor! 2) Chieftain's armor was 16 inches thick! 4) The T-64 was the Soviet's own version of the leopard(?!) Actually, the materials science stuff seems solid, and jives with what I've heard before (but how much of that is people repeating this article?).

Walter_Sobchak Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I had a hard time getting past the first paragraph and his bolded sentence "Historically the battle between projectile and plate has determined the out come of most tank battles." Really? I can name all sorts of examples where the lighter tanks won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoooSeR Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I kinda want to read it and in the same time don't want to give it more views. Is it worth to get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I had a hard time getting past the first paragraph and his bolded sentence "Historically the battle between projectile and plate has determined the out come of most tank battles." Really? I can name all sorts of examples where the lighter tanks won. I think that all of the largest tank battles in history were primarily conducted by T-34s and Pz IVs that could happily mutually kill each other. The runner up is probably some battle between centurions, M48s and T-55s in some godforsaken desert where, again, everyone could kill each other pretty evenly.

It's on Scribd, so I don't think the author's getting money from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 The Soviets developed the T-64, their ownversion of the Leopard One of the hallmarks of awful writing is the inability to check dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xthetenth Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think that all of the largest tank battles in history were primarily conducted by T-34s and Pz IVs that could happily mutually kill each other. The runner up is probably some battle between centurions, M48s and T-55s in some godforsaken desert where, again, everyone could kill each other pretty evenly. On the other hand, the battle between shell and armor plate determined who won. It was the tank of the guy where that battle didn't take place.
