Best MBT of the world 2005 (According to SPMBT)
I have made some experiment in order to determineate which MBT was the best of the world in SPMBT: it was quite a fair experiment (and a surprising one):
range of engagement: 2500m
each camp was composed of a single company/escadron of 12 or 13 tanks, deployed in a line, the map was a only clear ground map, country trainig of and exp modified for each tank to got every body E/M at 70/70, I tried every "fight" 4 times, the results are:
- Challenger 2 did kill Abraham easily (2 for 1)
- Leclerc did kill Leopard 2A6 Really easily (3 for 1)
- Merkava did kill T-90 without any loses but hardly
When I tried Challenger vs Leclerc, Leclerc did win,
but was killed without loses by the Merkava...
Conclusions:
- Without any better caracteristics, Leclerc did kill Leo and Challenger...
I didn't understand how since I descovered his size is of 4, and I believe it makes him hit less and gives him superiority at great ranges...
- General armor of the Merkava is not so high (T:80, Hull:74(?))and is gun is not very good (120L44-> pen : 90), but in fact I realised that every kill was made from a hull hit in those modern MBTs , so at great distances, merkava is really hard (and quite impossible) to destroy... I'not sure his hull armor is so high but didn't find any numbers on that contrary to Abraham and Leopard A6... It would made him a really heavy tank...
Seems also random is quite good but can do some funny things, I could show it with my precise results if you want...
