BF2S Forums oh would anyone be good enough...

ha so do you get kickbacks from youtube

... was this a commercial for range rover?

In what ways is the Challenger better than the Abrams?

there are less than 400 of them made, enough said
it's rifled bore, adds range (longest claimed shot was around 5.5 clicks i think), not accuracy, but also limits the types of round that can be fired as some (rounds) actually have wings and guidance systems

you have no idea what exact rounds were fired at which tank, and considering how many more hundreds of abrams have actually seen battle then yes, there will be more casualties

they're different, not better than each other, each does something the other can't, kinda sad when you think about how some abrams are pushing 25 years old, yet can still hit a pie plate at a mile and a half at top speed over rough terrain, an israeli Merkava tank division could probably teach everyone a good lesson...

too bad this fat tard didn't really get blown up, he's an ass and probably the biggest reason I can't watch top gear.....

though this is a great vid for next time one of my friends try to tell me rovers suck (I'm a Ford fan)


edit: one of these nutjobs could probably get it done, they're usually pulling 100 mph or so on terrain like that

it was saying a story in iraq...the tank went in alone and got ambushed and hit its 2 window sites, and it sat in a hole for 10 hours blind...and they shot rockets for 10 hours straight and AT missiles and all the crew heard was small thuds, when they got back the tank was hardly damaged....now u tell me when a abrams has survived such attacks...and i saw a few abrams tanks being destroyed by one!!! rocket...enough said..

Lol, I once watched a show about tanks, and I said that the Leopard II was the best in the wordl

horsepower = heat, no matter what type of engine is used, it is a Honeywell turbine that uses jp-8 jet fuel, but can also run on diesel, gasoline, and just about anything else available, though the power drops somewhat

the Abrams is alot better.......there was an Abram stuck in heavy mud and was under attack by 3 t-72 tanks and was hit by a heat round..did nothing the Abrams put a round though the turret knocking it strait off...the other hit it with a heat round doing nothing and the Abrams took out the other t-72...then th last t-72 fired a 125mm armored piercing round and it did nothing more than a slight groove in the armor....it hid behind a truck and the Abrams put on thermal sights and fired a 120mm armor piercing round into the tanks side blowing it to hell......then the army recovery vehicles could;t make it to pull out the tank so the soldiers in the tank bailed out and got two other Abrams to fire 120mm armor piecing rounds at the top of the turret where the ammo was.....it hit and didn't blow up the tank....later it was pulled out and send to Analise and was still  able to preform at peak combat performance
and thanks for the negative karma......im sorry your jealous........but the Abrams is a lot better but don't get me wrong the challenger is dam good too.........it is second best by a Lil bit

Well, you'll excuse me, but I live in a country which feels that for technical measurements you ought use proper terms.  And the only time I've ever known anyone to use the term "clicks" was in a Star Wars book.

Why do I even answer your questions. Your a idiot.

Just one question, scince Im from America is that the reason you think Im a idiot, I was just asking why you didnt know that ok. Mabey because your country dosent use words like that, and almost the only time they are ever used in the USA is in our Military, even though it is one of the most technology advanced and highest trained militarys in the world would you please find a reason to say we dont use proper terms. Also scince your from Australia and you say that they use proper terms how about you read this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klick   "Its origin is sometimes linked with the Australian Army in Korea."
