A long road

...overall I think the worlds leading MBTS are pretty much the same...

Well, that solve all the problems then!

...it will be the crews that do that.

That's a crucial element, for sure.

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...

I see, thanks for your testimony. What can I say against that? Not much, indeed. It's just opposite to everything I've ever read on the subject but, well, if you say so. I can't argue against a real life experience with my second hand statements. I've never been in a MBT moving cross country at 40km/h and tasked to load 120mm shells (I served in the air forces ). I guess the debate is over and I must surrender. So be it.
