MikeyD Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 The first time you see a round squarely smack the turret front and do no damage your initial reaction is "Holy (expletive)!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) And then it fires back! Plus it is absolutely goddam beautiful.....For a tank. PS - Plus if it sees you it's going to outrange you with its TLATGMs.....Real mean MOFO for its day. PPS - Did I mention how beautiful it is.....For a tank?

But unfortunately they made it out of tinfoil! A round from the 2A46 would turn a Leopard I inside-out! Fortunately they had Leopard II by this point, but I'm not sure if had any significant advantages over the T-80B as we now know it was, as opposed to our wishful thinking at the time (there may be a lesson in that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of them saw themselves as "The people that slow down the enemy until a real army arrives". That wasn't my impression of your fellow countrymen at the time. They were very motivated and trained very fanatically. We often met them in training manoeuvres and on other occassions and they weren't just preparing to 'slow down'. Together with (most) Dutch and British units stationed in West-Germany they were better trained and motivated than for example the US units. Not saying US units were badly trained though, they were good as well. They would have been the decisive factor of course and we were very happy to have them around.
