A long road

...challenger 2 uses 3 piece ammunition therefore the ability to load on the move becomes a lot easier.

And safer... for sure! I thought the Chally 2 ammunitions were only 2 pieces. How does this translate in reloading times? I read the 2 pieces ammunition was, at times, even faster to load manually than a single piece would be with an auto-loader. Find this detail hard to believe since, on a Leclerc, this operation is said to be done between 3 and 5 seconds Some more precision please: are you affirmative the 95-100% rate you're talking about were achieved with the Chally 2 firing while moving at 40km/h, instead of decelerating then firing/reloading, then speeding up again? How many shots per minutes (average) were possible? Are you positive a M1 Abrams, during the period of 1980/1984, was probably capable of such prowess? Thanks for the info.
