Hi
just dropping in my 2 pennies worth, overall I think the worlds leading MBTS are pretty much the same, the differences are not enough to give one side a huge advantage in a conflict, it will be the crews that do that. Now I was a Challenger 2 commander for many years and having carried out engagements on the move at speeds up to 40kph on battle runs and across the canadian prairie with great success and thats without an autoloader. British MBT training revolves mainly around manouver warfare so nearly all live firing is carried out on the move, it is essential that the tank is capable of doing this effectively. I am sure that if Challenger 2 is capable of achieving this sort of routine success then the M1 in all its technical glory will be too.
